Hi I'm quite new to Cold Fusion and was wondering
If i had a variable that contained
someone@someone.com

how do i get rid of everything after the "someone" part

ie ..get rid of the @ sign as well as the domain..where the domain is always different

Thanks in Advance

I think this will do what you want.

<cfset email=&quot;someone@someone.com&quot;>
<cfset user = listgetat(email,1,&quot;@&quot>

This will strip off everything before the first @ even if it contains more than one.

Nice one GunJack ! The following code does the same, and uses the very underrated function SpanExcluding :

<cfset email=&quot;someone@someone.com&quot;>
<cfset user=SpanExcluding(email, &quot;@&quot>

Good luck teroy!
