I have a list of emails, and I want to change the two letters before "@" and the first letter after "@" using Notepad++.
For example:
username@yourdomain.com
becomes
userna**@*ourdomain.com

Just an obvious remark, the concrete example you gave shows how useless this pattern would be to anonymize email addresses. It’s usually better like x******@y***.com

@WELZ Yes but its more work, a half working sample would(.)[^@]*@([^.]).*(.[a-z]+)use 3 capture groups which you can address in the replace with string:1***@2***3- uses a fixed number of mask characters but this is actually good.

..@. There are 3 dots and an @:
@has no special meaning in regex so it means a literal @..means any character, exactly once. By writing..it means 2 characters of any kind, as long as there are 2 characters.
