which parameters to use for search

One way would be to use Data/ Text to Columns to split by the @ symbol, then
again to split by the dot, then test for the entry in column A being the
same as that in column B.

Thanks - that is obviously the only way - thought there would be a
lazy way around.

It's not the only way, I'm sure. One could do string extraction by LEFT,
MID, RIGHT, etc. with FIND or SEARCH to look for the separators, but Data/
Text to Columns seemed to be the easy way.
