Is there a way to bulk-change user 'names' (note: not usernames)

The horror.

I had to make a minor change in the code and add a little procedure to make it work. Here’s the modified code:

users=User.where("name like '%@%'")

Then the rails console starts “more-ing” you through the user data so i needed to q out of that. Then:

users.each do |user|
  user.name.gsub!(/@(.*)/,"")
  puts "New name: #{user.name}"
  # user.save
end

Then the rails console showed me the list of new names (correct!), and then put me back into a “more” of the users. q again.

Then:

users.each do |user|
  user.name.gsub!(/@(.*)/,"")
  puts "New name: #{user.name}"
  user.save
end

…and no more email address user names and everything looking good on the forum front end.

Thanks again @pfaffman for your generous help.
