How to get 'name' from 'name@domain.com' using cf reg ex?

happysailingdude May 26, 2014 3:29 AM

Hi everyone.

I'm trying to get 'name' from 'name@domain.com' using cf reg ex.

I've got this so far #rereplace('temp.emailaddress','[^@]+','')#

which is giving me @domain.com - but I want the first part, can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks ever so much.

Nick

You may treat it as a list with delimiter @:

<cfset myString = 'name@domain.com' >
<cfset namePart = listGetAt(myString,1,"@")>

Just thought of another one, close to yours:

rereplace('name@domain.com','@(.*)$',"",'all')
