If the string really always follows exactly that format, you can use something funky like this:
x
DECLARE @test NVARCHAR(1000)
= N'Super admin James Johnson<jamesjohnson@gmail.com> updated profile of admin Sam Welson<samwelson@gmail.com>';
SELECT *
, PARSENAME(repl.val, 4) AS AdminName
, PARSENAME(repl.val, 3) AS AdminEmail
, PARSENAME(repl.val, 2) AS UpdateName
, PARSENAME(repl.val, 1) AS UpdateEmail
FROM (
VALUES (@test)
) AS X (T)
OUTER APPLY (
VALUES (REPLACE(
REPLACE(
REPLACE(
REPLACE(X.T, 'Super admin ', '') --Remove this completely
, ' updated profile of admin ' --Replace this with a .
, '.'
)
, '<' --Replace this with a . and [ (so the . in the email isn't parsed)
, '.['
)
, '>' --Reaplace with ] to complemanted the previous ]
, ']'
)
)
) AS repl (val);
Which gives:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+------------------------+------------+---------------------+
| T | val | AdminName | AdminEmail | UpdateName | UpdateEmail |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+------------------------+------------+---------------------+
| Super admin James Johnson<jamesjohnson@gmail.com> updated profile of admin Sam Welson<samwelson@gmail.com> | James Johnson.[jamesjohnson@gmail.com].Sam Welson.[samwelson@gmail.com] | James Johnson | jamesjohnson@gmail.com | Sam Welson | samwelson@gmail.com |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+------------------------+------------+---------------------+
This abuses the PARSENAME function, which is meant to parse 4 part named objects (server_name.database_name.schema_name.object_name).
