Afternoon all
I'm trying to do some manipulation of the From: field display name section in
order to do matching against a remote data source.
To do this, I want to take the name "Fred Bloggs" and turn that into
"fredbloggs" and "bloggsfred". That bit is easy, using the sg operator with a
match and the resulting $1, $2 item values.
The edge case is that for entities of three or more words (well, actually for
the two word case too) I don't want to have to hard-code a set of ever-longer
matches and assignments using $3, $4 etc - I'd like to be able to use something
to do this dynamically using the map operator. For this I'm trying to use the
${listcount: expansion to give me the number of elements.
However... using a space separated list is proving to be a challenge. Bizarrely:
${listcount:Fred:Bloggs} == 2 (correct)
${listcount:Fred:J:Bloggs == 3 (correct)
yet:
${listcount:<" "Fred J Bloggs} == 2, because it's taking the first double quote
as the separator.
Is there any way at all to specify a space separator for a list? I'm damned if
I can work one out!
Yours in bafflement,
Graeme
