Python Script for Generating Email Addresses

This Python script generates email addresses based on a specified format and a person's name. It offers flexibility in how names are represented (initials or first few letters) and handles separators between name parts.

Functionality

• Splits a person's name into first, middle, and last names.
• Extracts format elements and separators from an email format string.
• Generates a new email format based on a given word and a list of existing formats.
• Constructs an email address based on a specified format using parts of a person's name.

Usage

This script can be used as a standalone tool or imported as a module in other Python projects.

1. Standalone Usage

The script will prompt you to enter a name, email format, and domain. It will then print the generated email address to the console.

2. Module Usage

import emailGenerator

name = "John Doe"
email_format = "[first_initial].[last]"
domain = "@example.com"

email_address = emailGenerator.generateEmailString(name, email_format, domain)

print(email_address)  # Output: [[email protected]]

Features

1. Supports various name representations: first name, last name, initials, and first/last few letters.
2. Handles separators between name parts in the email format.
