Replacing everything before the @ symbol
 

Hello all,

I have a list of email address's that I need to sift through to identify only the domain name.

xyz@yo.com
abs@yo.com
clahclah@test.com

I want to remove everything before the @ symbol and only print the domain name. Can anyone assist with this?

cut -d@ -f2 emails.txt

try posting what you have tried next time.

If you want to keep the "@", put it between the last two slashes

Q: Which is better--SED or AWK?

A: cut (at least it's the most readable.)

;)

readable because it appears "shorter"? which is more understandable, print $2 or -f2 ? :)

"print $2" just sounds like you are a counterfeiter, whereas -f2 OBVIOUSLY means the second field.....

Sorry, I know AWK is better...........;)

Actually, in the example, "cut" is confusing---it does not remove the specified data. Perhaps the command should be renamed "keep"

only after reading cut's man page.

of course. cut is just cut and nothing more. awk is cut and a whole lot more

what do you mean? it does the job. only data left is the domains.

Thanks to you all for your help!
