Hello.
Say, ox1 is your expression
In[83]:=
ox1 = Exp[I*(q1*y1 + q2*y2 + q3*y3) - I*(qp1*y1 + qp2*y2 + qp3*y3)]
Out[83]=
E^(I*(q1*y1 + q2*y2 + q3*y3) - I*(qp1*y1 + qp2*y2 + qp3*y3))
Then the first you request, can be taken by
In[87]:=
ox2 = ox1 /. E^(a_) :> E^(Collect[a, {y1, y2, y3}] /. (b_)*(c_) :>
Simplify[b]*c)
Out[87]=
E^(I*(q1 - qp1)*y1 + I*(q2 - qp2)*y2 + I*(q3 - qp3)*y3)
For the second request, you must enter HoldForm in the "game" as
follows
In[93]:=
ox3=(HoldForm[#1]*HoldForm[#2]*HoldForm[#3] & ) @@ (ox2 /. E^(a_) :>
(E^#1 & ) /@ List @@ a)
Out[93]=
HoldForm[E^(I*(q1 - qp1)*y1)]*HoldForm[E^(I*(q2 -
qp2)*y2)]*HoldForm[E^(I*(q3 - qp3)*y3)]
However,
In[95]:=
ReleaseHold[ox3]
Out[95]=
E^(I*(q1 - qp1)*y1 + I*(q2 - qp2)*y2 + I*(q3 - qp3)*y3)
Cheers
