Email generator

Last modified: April 3, 2025

The Email generator creates valid email addresses based on a specific format or structure, often using predefined patterns or templates. This generator can create email addresses for testing purposes, data population, or simulation, and is frequently used in databases, testing environments, or data migration tasks.

Generator properties

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

Short name	Example of generated data	Data type matching	Country-specific
Email	Danica.Foley@example.com, fstu@nowhere.com, …	character varyingcharactertext	Default

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column that matches any of the following rules:

The column name ends with ‘Email’ or ‘Mail’, preceded by any or no characters, regardless of the table name.
The column name is ‘SendTo’, ‘CC’, or ‘BCC’, regardless of the table name.

Configure additional options

The generator produces data based on a regular expression. Since it is built on the RegExp generator, see Regular Expression generator to customize settings and understand the correct usage of syntax.

The Text box displays the following .txt files with the default path:
