ser$ = "DominoChennai" ' server
addb$ = "Mynames.nsf" ' Address Book name
nflag = 0 ' Flag for names
FN$ = "Gopala" ' First name
LN$ = "Krishnan" ' Last name

fnames$ = GetLNName(LN$,FN$,nflag,ser$,addb$ )

If (nflag = 1 ) Then ' Exact match found
f2 = Evaluate(|@Explode("|+ fnames$ +|";",~")|)
doc.FirstName= f2(0) + " " + f2(1)
doc.LastName= f2(2)
doc.LNname= f2(3)' setting the exact matched name
ElseIf (nflag = 0) Then ' no match found
doc.frname = Trim(fnames$)' setting the deault name itself
doc.FirstName = Trim(t3)
doc.LastName = Trim(t2)
Else
' Found Similar Sounding words
' Gett all the name list in "Allnames"

f1$ = |@Explode("|+AllNames$+|";";")|
Allnames = Evaluate(f1$)

Forall itm In Allnames
' Extract the LotusNotes name from very names
LNNme = Evaluate(|@Subset(@Explode("|+itm+|";"~");-1)| )
Print "Lotus notes Names : " + LNNme(0)
End Forall
