Python regex - extend string

Question

I got a .txt file, where the line is a sequence of names in a row:

John Marry Joseph

And I need to extend each of them with @company.com, to get this result:

[email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

Is there a way how to write it with regex or some other method?

KISS

[(y+"@company.com") for y in x.split()]

If you don't want a list then you can join it, like this

print(' '.join([(y+"@company.com") for y in x.split()]))

or this

print('@company.com '.join(x.split()) + '@company.com')

Using regex re.sub

x = "John Marry Joseph"
print(re.sub("([^\s]+)", "\\[email protected]", x))

This will return an array. Just do " ".join(all that array) to get a string back

@karina well 2nd one can be used then..though good suggestion

Oh sorry. None of that was there when I commented

the second join version works almost ;-) it needs an extra @company.com added to the end.
