Question

I have been scratching my head trying to find any resources on substringing an email address I get from a textfield into getting the first part before the @ symbol. Ive tried looking at the documentation, playing around with the componentsseparatedbyString.

No luck.

Thanks for your help in advance

Answer 1

NSString* email = @"[e-mail]";
NSString* username = [[email componentsSeparatedByString:@"@"] objectAtIndex:0];

You’ll want to do some error checking most likely, but that’s the meat of it.
