How to extract d@u from 'From richard.richrdqwd@uct.za.ca' using non-greedy regular expression?

Question

I'm quite new to regular expressions in Python.

So I'm wondering how can I extract d@u from the text below using non-greedy expressions?

x = 'From richard.richrdqwd@uct.za.ca'

Thank you in advance!

Any suggestion would be appreciated

Try this:

m = re.search('.@.', 'From richard.richrdqwd@uct.za.ca')
if m:
    print(m.group(0))
