Re: RegEx question

Thanks for the help I did get it working with this:
name = row[0].match(/^([^@]+)/).to_s
domain = row[0].match(/[^@]+$/).to_s
though I'm not sure I fully understand what the [^@] does. I know that ^
is the start of the line and + means once or more, and I thought that []
was used to match any of several characters, but it looks like something
else is going on here. Is this working just a fluke or is that the
proper wat to do it?

        This is probably a really obvious question but how can I match
        everything up to a character not including that character with
        regex? For example:
        person@email.tld => person
        me@here.com => me
