Hi Pamela, try escaping the asterisk with \* so the pattern would be for example

Email \* (.*)

Example here. At present the pattern is matching zero or more letter L's instead of matching an asterisk character.

I have tried Email*(.*) and get the result

*info@thisisatest.com

I can't get the * to go away.
