If I understand you correct you want to extract the name "Mel" from the
string ( Mel is in this case )
if i'm correct you can use regular expressions.
the paterrn that i've test is
^Sent by (?'Name'\w+) @.+
so to get the string in the group "Name" you can use:
Regex r = new Regex("Sent by Mel @4:20");
Match m = r.Match ( "^Sent by (?'Name'\w+) @.+" );
Console.WriteLine(m.Groups["Name"].Value);

Hello,
How would I parse "Mel" from the string? "Sent by Mel @4:20"
Thanks
Mel
