Hi !
I think you can do this with regular expressions.
look some at :
http://www.regular-expressions.info/ruby.html

Take a look at the split method in String:

http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/String.html#M000818

For example:

irb(main):001:0> a = "(e-mail address removed)[email protected]"
=> "(e-mail address removed)[email protected]"
irb(main):006:0> a.split(/[@~]/)
=> ["jayabharathy", "angleritech.com", "Vs", "kannan", "angleritech.com"]

Hope this helps,

Jesus.

Something like this can work, depends of course on the names that you
want to allow:

names = str.scan(/(\w+)@[a-z._-]+/i).flatten
