Magic email transformation! Or: help the NSA extract your metadata from your email address

Question

Given an email address, the result of a transformation applied to that email address, and a second email address, return the output of the same transformation applied to the second email address.

The email addresses will all have the following structure:

A string of positive length containing alphanumeric characters and at most one . (the local part), followed by an @ symbol, followed by a string of positive length containing alphanumeric sumbols (the domain), followed by a . symbol, and a final string of positive length containing alphanumeric characters (the TLD).

There are four allowed transformations:

• Identity (no change). ([email protected] -> [email protected])
• Returning just the local part (everything before the @) unmodified ([email protected] -> a.b).
• Returning the local part split on the . if present, with the first symbol of each half capitalised. ([email protected] -> A B).
• Returning just the domain (everything between the @ and the final .) unmodified. ([email protected] -> c).

When more than one transformation is possible, you can give the output of any of the possibilities. Whitespace at the start and end of output don't matter, but in the middle does (i.e. if you split a.b to A B there should be just one space in the middle [and any number at the start and end of output], but if you split a., then A with any number of spaces on either side are all acceptable).

Examples (input | output):

[email protected], John Doe, [email protected]         | Phillip Maini
[email protected], John Doe, [email protected]         | Phillip Maini
[email protected], foo.bar, [email protected]           | gee.whizz
[email protected], foo.bar, [email protected]           | gEe.Whizz
[email protected], comedy, [email protected] | office
[email protected], Jones, [email protected]                                     | A
[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]                                | [email protected]
[email protected], .jones, [email protected]                                    | a.
[email protected], x, [email protected]                                         | 3
[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]                                           | [email protected]
[email protected], John Jones, [email protected]           | 1in Thehand
[email protected], Chicken Soup, [email protected]                    | Fab
[email protected], lange, [email protected]                          | fat.so
[email protected], Lange, [email protected]                          | {fat.so, Fat So} # either acceptable
[email protected], chicken, [email protected]              | {horse, pig} # either acceptable

Usual rules and loopholes apply.

It is sad I had to spend 59 bytes on reinventing split (s).

The solution creates a list of transformations and returns the first one that leads to the expected result.

How?

Performs all four transforms (plus a precursor one), finds the first one that yields the example from the first email, then applies it to the second email:

            - Link 1, do nothing: email
            - do nothing but return the input

ÑṪṣ”.Ḣ      - Link 2, the domain: email
Ñ           - call the next link (3) as a monad (split at "@")
 Ṫ          - tail
  ṣ”.       - split at "."
     Ḣ      - head

ṣ”@         - Link 3, split at @: email
ṣ”@         - split at "@"

ÇḢ          - Link 4, local part: email
Ç           - call the last link (3) as a monad (split at "@")
 Ḣ          - head

Çṣ”.Œu1¦€K  - Link 5, name-ified: email
Ç           - call the last link (4) as a monad (get the local part)
 ṣ”.        - split at "."
       ¦€   - for €ach sparsley apply:
      1     - ...to index: 1
    Œu      - ...action: uppercase
         K  - join with space(s)

⁹ĿðЀ5i     - Link 6, index of first correct link: exampleEmail; exampleOutput
   Ѐ5      - map across (implicit range of) 5 (i.e. for each n in [1,2,3,4,5]):
  ð         -   dyadicly (i.e. with n on the right and exampleEmail on the left):
 Ŀ          -     call referenced link as a monad:
⁹           -     ...reference: chain's right argument, n
      i     - first index of exampleOutput in the resulting list

çµ⁵⁸Ŀ       - Main link: exampleEmail; exampleOutput
ç           -   call the last link (6) as a dyad (get the first "correct" link index)
 µ          - monadic chain separation (call that L)
   ⁸        - chain's left argument, L
    Ŀ       - call the link at that reference as a monad with input:
  ⁵         -   program's third input, realEmail

Notes:

1. Assumes the input exampleOutput is strictly the same as the output would be.

2. The "precursor" (the result of link 3) is tested for matching the exampleOutput, but it won't match unless the exampleOutput itself is a list of lists of characters. As such the inputs should probably be quoted (Python formatting may be used here) to avoid the possibility of interpreting it as such.

Explanation:

q~        read and evaluate the input (given as 3 quoted strings)
@         bring the first string to the top of the stack
{…}:T     define a function T that calculates the 4 transformations of a string:
  [       begin array
  _\      duplicate the string, and swap with the other copy to bring it in the array
           (1st transformation)
  '@/~    split by '@' and put the 2 pieces on the stack
  './0=   split the 2nd piece by '.' and keep the first part
           (4th transformation)
  \_      swap with the piece before '@' and duplicate it
           (2nd transformation)
  '.%     split by '.', removing the empty pieces
  {…}%    transform the array of pieces
    (eu   take out the first character and capitalize it
    \+    prepend it back to the rest
  S*      join the pieces by space
           (3rd transformation)
  ]       end array
~         execute the function on the first string
@a        bring the 2nd string to the top of the stack, and wrap it in an array
#         find the position of this string in the array of transformations
\T        bring the 3rd string to the top and call function T
=         get the transformation from the array, at the position we found before

GNU sed, 105 + 1(r flag) = 106 bytes

The first three s commands check for the identity, local part and domain transformations respectively. If one transformation matches, then it is applied to the second email address and the following s commands will fail due to a lack of the input format.

s:^(.*),\1,::
s:(.*)@.*,\1,(.*)@.*:\2:
s:.*@(.*)\..*,\1,.*@(.*)\..*:\2:
s:.*,([^.]*)\.?(.*)@.*:\u\1 \u\2:

Try it online!

The local part split transformation (last s command) is the most expensive to check, in terms of bytes, therefore I placed it at the end and assumed it matches (since the other ones failed by that time), going directly to its application.
