Re: How do I handle extra spaces?

numero = 46329
interpreted = N
texte = Yes, this is what I usually do since I keep firstname MI lastname in thecustomers.db.When I setheader to name I glue them together and when I have to displaythem from the orderfile I pull them apart via listwords.However, I guess I do see a small value in having the orderfile fields available(quicker coding).Will, since the gateway templates are given to us by Smith Micro, I would disagreetokeep [name] [MI] [Lastname]... I think it would confuse developers... If SM onlygave us[firstname] [MI] [lastname] then we would exactly know where to put theinformation.Then (un-beknownst to our knowledge) the gateway templates would glue themtogether before they get sent out. (however, I guess for those that build thereownlinks that this info would have to be documented... but those who do this shouldn'tbe technically challenged in this way).The thing this would do is break any current template! I'm not afraid... This isbecausethere would be an influx of work for us to fix these problems! :-)Help, I upgraded and my system no longer works right!DonovanJohn Peacock wrote:> WJ Starck wrote:> > Please please SM can we have separate fields for first name, last name> > and middle initial?????????????!> >>> Create your own form with seperate first name, last name, and middle initial> fields, then glue them together yourself (with the appropriate number of spaces,> if you so choose).>> John>> -->-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------<><> Donovan Brooke <><>->ï ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
