The following code returns: k******Teamtreehouse.com ...which I thought was correct ...but answer is unaccepted...
{% macro hide_email(User) %} {% with atSymbolIndex = User.email.find('@'[:]) %} {{ User.email[0] }} {% for letter in User.email[1:atSymbolIndex] %} * {% endfor %} {% for letter in User.email[atSymbolIndex:] %} {{ letter }} {% endfor %} {% endwith %} {% endmacro%}
from flask import Flask, render_template
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
class User:
email = None
user = User()
user.email = 'kenneth@teamtreehouse.com'
return render_template('user.html', user=user)
{% macro hide_email(User) %}
{% with atSymbolIndex = User.email.find('@'[:]) %}
{{ User.email[0] }}
{% for letter in User.email[1:atSymbolIndex] %}
*
{% endfor %}
{% for letter in User.email[atSymbolIndex:] %}
{{ letter }}
{% endfor %}
{% endwith %}
{% endmacro%}

30,857 PointsI came up with a way to accomplish the task without using a for loop, thus preventing the whitespace....even though the original question suggests using a for loop....
{% macro hide_email(User) %}
{% with asterisks_count = User.email.find('@') - 1 %}
{% with hidden_email = [User.email[0], '*' * asterisks_count, User.email[asterisks_count + 1:]] %}
{{ "".join(hidden_email) }}
{% endwith %}
{% endwith %}
{% endmacro %}
