Excelwnte

Perfect code, thanks!!! 💪

I add some changes to show one char before @

function emailMask(email: string) {
var maskedEmail = email.replace(/([^@\.])/g, '*').split('')
var previous = ''
let j = 0
for (let i = 0; i < maskedEmail.length; i++) {
if (i <= 1 || previous === '.') {
maskedEmail[i] = email[i]
} else if (maskedEmail[i] === '@') {
j = i - 1
maskedEmail[i] = email[j] + email[i] + email[i + 1]
}
previous = email[i]
}
return maskedEmail.join('')
}

I'm trying to do the same thing without regex
