Re: extract username from email address

You are using regex syntax that procmail doesn't support

  SPACE = ' '
  TAB   = '    ' # 1 character: a literal tab
  WS    = "$SPACE$TAB"

  VERBOSE = 'YES'

  :0
  *$ ^From:.*\/[^$WS].*
  {
    H_FROM = "$MATCH"

    :0
    * H_FROM ?? ()<\/[^(_at_)]+
    { USERID = "$MATCH " }
    :0E  # if there is no <, use anything up to the first @
    *$ H_FROM ?? [^(_at_)$WS]+@
    *  MATCH  ?? ^^\/[^(_at_)]+
    { USERID = "$MATCH " }
  }

(untested)

But there are better ways to get the clean from address, 
see for example Sean's CLEANFROM on
