replace(/[^a-z0-9\s]/gi, '') will filter the string down to just alphanumeric values and

replace(/[_\s]/g, '-') will replace underscores and spaces with hyphens or put '' as it as per your requirement.

For your requirement :

string.split("@")[0].replace(/[^a-z0-9\s]/gi, '')

You can simply use .split() to extract name then do the cleanup operation using existing code.

An example

var username = "[email protected]".split('@')[0].replace(/[^a-zA-Z 0-9]+/g,'');

You can do this:

var username = "[email protected]";
username = username.split('@')[0].replace(/[\W_]/g,"");

By splitting the code:

username.split('@')[0] // will give all characters before @

.replace(/[\W_]/g,"") // will remove any special character.

Use .split() in jquery

var username = "[email protected]";
   console.log(username.split("@")[0]);
