How to match and copy everything up to first occurrence of a character using regex?

Question

Sample text format:

tom@yahoo.com,age:30|http://....
tom1@yahoo.com,age:31|http://....
tom2@yahoo.com,age:32|http://....

I want to match and copy everything before the '|'. My regex: ^[^|]+ this will match everything up to the '|', how can I copy all the occurrences?

2nd question Sample text format:

tom@yahoo.com,age:30|100 lb
tom1@yahoo.com,age:31|200 lb
tom2@yahoo.com,age:32|300 lb

how can I match and copy all the text and range of 200 lb and below. So the first two line should be extracted and copied.
