Hi,

 

In Nintex forms i have a control which is connected to a person or group field. For a given email address, e.g. "john.smith@hello.co.uk" how could I extract the text after the "@" Which, in this case would be "@hello.co.uk". should i use calculated value control?

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

it kinda depends on how you'd like to use the value you're extracting! If you need to have it displayed on the Form, then certainly a Calculated Control would do the trick. But if you just wanted to use it in code, then why not just extract it in real-time?



 



No matter using a variation of: 



"john.smith@hello.co.uk".match(/@(.*)/)[1];


Should produce the result you'd like.

Below are two examples of how one might approach it either way:



/* Directly in a Calc Control formula */



{email_Control_Reference}.match(/@(.*)/)[1];





 



Used in code by passing the Email Control into a function as an argument:



(function(emailControl){

var emailHost = emailControl.match(/@(.*)/)[1];

/* Your Other Code */

}({email_Control_Reference}))


 



Let me know if you need further help!
