How to split email string?

[johnwillmikul]

If I had an email-

[email protected]

How would I split it so the end result would be

firstnam.lastname?

Thanks in advance everyone

  Dim Email As String = "[email protected]"
            Dim EmailStrSplit() As String = Email.Split(CChar("@"))

            MessageBox.Show(EmailStrSplit(0))

There are lots of great examples around the internet, just google "Split string" in vb.net

Here is one great place to starthttp://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/net/nets7p7.html

'the text string you want to split up
        Dim LineOfText As String = TextBox1.Text
        'creates and array to store the differrent string parts
        Dim aryTextFile() As String
        'Set the character to split the string on
        aryTextFile = LineOfText.Split("@")
        'returns the first part of array
        MsgBox(aryTextFile(0))

I hope this helps get you going

[CODE]Dim EmailStrSplit() As String = Email.Split(CChar("@"))

FYI, VB does have char literals: "@"C so you don't actually need the CChar conversion.

Dim emailParts() As String = email.Split("@"C)

Thanks everyone All of these are working. I did search on google, but it was a little confusing. These examples are much better : D

True, forgot about that.
