Try this:

var index = str.indexOf('@', 0);
if (index != -1)
    var output = str.substring(0, index);
else 
    var output = str;

Hope it helps :)

just split it, if there is no @ char, it'll just return an array of 1 string, if there was an @, everything that preceded the @, will be assigned to the first (0) index of the resulting array. In other words:

 var preAt = someString.split('@')[0];

It doesn't matter if the string contained 0 or 1000 at signs, this will work
