Give this a try. (Runanywhere sample search, first line is just to generate sample data).

| gentimes start=-1 | eval user="user1@sa.com sab\user2 user3" | table user | makemv user | mvexpand user 
| rex field=user "(?<cleanedUser>\w+)(\@|$)"

It's capturing a full work (\w+) till you encounter a @ symbol or end of value ($). backward slash is word terminator so it works for 2nd example value as well.
