The quick way to do that would be:

"tes<tr>ubyrails <test@gmail.com>".split(" <").each do |el| puts
el[0..-2] end

If you wanted something a bit more flexible I recommend regex. Do you
have more examples, or is this static data you're using?

str = "tes<tr>ubyrails <test@gmail.com>"

first, second = str.split
second = second[1..-1]

puts first, second

--output:--
tes<tr>ubyrails
test@gmail.com>

Like

irb(main):001:0> s = 'tes<tr>ubyrails <test@gmail.com>'
irb(main):002:0> if %r{\A(.*?)\s+(<.*?>)\z} =~ s then front=$1;
rear=$2; p front, rear; end
"tes<tr>ubyrails"
"<test@gmail.com>"
=> ["tes<tr>ubyrails", "<test@gmail.com>"]

Do you have more examples, or is this static data you're using?

That would certainly be helpful.

Kind regards

robert

Oops, he wanted the text between <>:

irb(main):005:0> if %r{\A(.*?)\s+<(.*?)>\z} =~ s then front=$1;
rear=$2; p front, rear; end
"tes<tr>ubyrails"
"test@gmail.com"
=> ["tes<tr>ubyrails", "test@gmail.com"]

Cheers
