Remove characters from string

Jon
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 jo********@some place.com would become
Joe Bloggs.

Thanks You all,

Jon

myString = myString.replac e(/@.*/, "");

Or, compatible with very old script engines

var atpos = myString.indexO f("@");
if (atpos > -1) {
myString = myString.substr ing(0, atpos);
}
for example the string jo********@some place.com would become
Joe Bloggs.


Did you mean "joe.Bloggs "?

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

S = "jo********@som eplace.com"
S = S.split('@')[0]

is another way.

S = "jo********@som eplace.com"
T = S.split('@') // T[0] & T[1] may be useful

I have a textBox that people writes stories in it. They can use for format. I have Aspell installed on the server, so people can make correction to their text. Sometimes, they forget to add a space after a period. So Aspell reads the last word of a sentence and the first word of the next sentence as a single world, which gives an error, word not found. Before sending the text to Aspell, i add a space after all the periods with:

Is there a method to replace special characters like Ä (A-Umlaut) with A, Ö (O-Umlaut) with O, and so on? Sure, I could look for each character separately and replace it with its ascii-counterpart, but there are also such special characters in French and Swedish and many other languages which I also want to catch. Is there a generic way to do it?

Is there a string function in .NET that will remove the accent marks from letters? I know that's a slightly vague request... and that I could implement it by table lookup (and will do so unless something's already there). But can it be accomplished by switching a string among "cultures" or something like that?
