Sounds like homework.  You really want to show your attempt(s) first.

    If you have bash2 or ksh93, this will extract the email address from
    the file (you imply that there's only one line in the file, so I'm
    taking you at your word):

        n=1
        email=`while read -n1 c
                 do
                   case $c in
                       ,) n=$(( $n + 1 )) ;;
                   esac
                   [ $n -eq 3 ] && printf "%c" $c
                 done < textfilename`

    But you'd do better to read the man page for "cut", paying
    particular attention to the -d and -f options.
