You may have an option to configure your regex for either minimal or maximal
matching.  It sounds like it did a maximal match, instead of a minimal one.


If you can't find where to set that, then include some extra characters to
reduce the potential match range, eg

  @[^./ \]*[.]

would allow anything but a period, forward slash, space, or backslash after
the @ sign.  This should help terminate it before any path delimiters, or
other words.
