Hi Radhey,
Try below code
string a = string s= 'gangadhar@SHAKTIMAAN';

String str = final_name.SubStringBefore('@');
now Str will display 'ganadhar '

Thanks,

is this Java?

Something like this would probably do the job

String[] parts = string.split("@");

String part1 = parts[0]; // gangadhar

String part2 = parts[1]; // NAGRAJ

Hi Radhe,
Try this.:
index = sec.indexOf('@');
secName = sec.mid(0,index);

Thanks and Regards,
