Remove characters from string

04-27-2005

Hello all,

Would anyone please be able to help?

I would like to remove all characters after and including the @ from a
string, for example the string would become
Joe Bloggs.

Thanks You all,

Jon

"".replace(/@.*/, '')

myString = myString.replace(/@.*/, "");

Or, compatible with very old script engines

var atpos = myString.indexOf("@");
if (atpos > -1) {
myString = myString.substring(0, atpos);
}

Did you mean "joe.Bloggs"?

<script type="text/JavaScript">
var jb="".split("@")[0].replace(/\./," ")
jb=jb.charAt(0).toUpperCase()+jb.substring(1);
alert(jb);
</script>

S = ""
S = S.split('@')[0]

is another way.

S = ""
T = S.split('@') // T[0] & T[1] may be useful
