regular expression to do ...=split(/@/,var); ?

[browserice]

I have a record where 2 values are seperated by a '@'.
value1@value2

The split(/@/,var) doesn't work and I am guessing because in this case the '@' means something else. So there should be someother regular expression in there to match the '@'.

I searched a few regular expression links but since I rarely use them, I am having a hard time finding the right thing.

Can someone help ?
