Question

I would like to know how to use MySQL’s REGEXP or RLIKE feature for the two following tasks:

Task #1
Select all e-mail addresses, but only return the component after the @ and before the first . in the domain. So say I had 3 emails in a table… [e-mail], [e-mail], [e-mail] I would just want it to return 3 results of 123, 456, 789.

---

Task #2
When used in a WHERE clause, I would like to only match where the same part of the domain (after the @ and before the first .) meets a certain criteria. For arguments sake, lets say this is 123, 456 or 789.

Answer 1

Task #1 – there is no way to do this, MySQL can use REGEXPS only for comparision

Task #2 –

SELECT * FROM table WHERE field REGEXP '^[^@]+@(123|456|789)\\..*$'
