STRIP would probably not be the best function, as it requires searching for a specific character string, which would vary depending upon the record. I would use the GETTOK function, using the @ as the delimiter.

Define a new field using the GETTOK function as documented in the help file and manuals, and reference the field that contains your email addresses.
