Personal name middle name(s)/initial(s) - parse

GRCTools manual | Index

Purpose: it is not possible to distinguish definitively between first given names and middle given names, so this process makes no attempt to validate the name strings found within a field. This process simply splits a personal name string after the first full stop or space found.

Example:

Graham Robert becomes Graham and Robert

Graham R. becomes Graham and R.

Jean-Paul Robert becomes Jean-Paul and Robert

J.G.P.L. becomes J. and G.P.L.

Information required: GRC ToolsTMneeds to know the field to which to move the middle name(s)/initial(s).

If you would like to move only initials to the middle name field, choose the Move only initials? option. Choosing this option means that:

Graham Robert remains unchanged

Graham R. becomes Graham and R.

Jean-Paul Robert remains unchanged

J.G.P.L. becomes J. and G.P.L.
