Remove the text after , (comma)

Hi, I want to remove the text after the comma, My condition is I am extracting the email I’d using the Regex, But sometimes it comes with single email I’d and sometimes comes with double email I’d. So I want to take only first email I’d. Ex. abc@gmail.com, abcd@yahoo.com, here I want to take only first email I’d which is abc@gmail.com.
But Always there is not the scenario that it will come with double email If. If it come with only single email I’d then I want to take that I’d only like Ex. abc@hotmail.com so here is single email I’d not double email I’d separate by a comma. so I want to take abc@hotmail.com.
Plz help. @lakshman @Palaniyappan @ClaytonM

Fine
Kindly follow the below steps that could help you solve this buddy
–hope you have the mailid values stored in a variable named in_text of type string
–use a if condition like this
in_text.ToString.Contains(“,”)
if this condition gets satisfied it will go to THEN part where we can get the first mail like this
out_mail = Split(in_text,“,”)(0).ToString.Trim
or if the above condition fails it will go to ELSE part where we can leave as it is (empty)

Check if the string contains comma, and if it does, split the string by comma and get the item at position 0 in the splitted array.
something like:
if variable.contains(“,”) then
email = variable.split({“,”}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)(0)
else
email = variable

@Palaniyappan @RobertD
can you please help me, Above my source variable was string type. Now I am using the RegularExpression variable. so can you please tell me how to do this. Email is my regularexpression variable which contains the email address.

Email(0).toString will get the full group, Email(1) will get 1st match. Try the 1st one, if it returns the whole text, not only the e-mail, use the second.

you’re right bro it will give me the full text
