You could also use Left
<CFSET strEmail = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
<CFSET Index = Find("@", strEmail)>
<CFSET strEmailPart = Left(strEmail, Index)>
The reason taht works is because you know where your
string starts, if you were searching for emails as a
sub string, of a larger string a regular expression
would most likely be more suited to your needs.

I would do a Find on the string for the @ and then a Mid function that
starts at 1 and ends at the position returned from the find function.
