ITS.Is Full Name Command

NTS.Is Full Name Command

To validate whether a given string follows the format of a full name, requiring at least a valid first name and a last name.

Intention

•Conditional Statement. To validate whether a given string follows the format of a full name, requiring at least a valid first name and a last name.

•Trimming: The command trims the input string to remove any leading or trailing spaces before validation.

•Name Part Validation: Ensures the input consists of multiple parts, typically at least two (first and last names), by checking for spaces.

•Minimum Parts: Validates that there are at least two separate parts, which are not empty, to consider the string as a valid full name.

•Multiple Parts: If a middle name is present, each part of the name is individually validated.

•Part-Specific Checks: Different validation criteria may be applied to different parts of the name (for example, first vs. last name).

•The ITS. command is designed to assess a string for its suitability as a full name in various applications, ensuring it includes the basic components.

•The NTS. command checks the inverse condition, confirming that the string is not formatted as a full name.

•Focus on Structuring: The validation emphasizes the structure and presence of necessary name parts rather than the format or character set of each part.

Important:

The Command does not account for cultural variations in naming conventions where full names might not adhere to the first-name-last-name structure

It assumes that a valid full name must be composed of at least two parts separated by spaces, which may not be universal.

Example Use Case:

TST.Generate PreName|GER|$$N01

TST.Get Lastname by Country|DEU|$$N02

$$N04=$$N01 $$N02

ITS.Is Fullname|$$N04

DBP.$$N04 is a valid Full Name.

ELS.

DBP.$$N04 is NOT a valid Full Name.

EIF.

ENR.

The result would be:

Dalwijenella Bauer is a valid Full Name.

Syntax

ITS.Is Fullname|P1 … ELS. … EIF.

NTS.Is Fullname|P1 … ELS. … EIF.

Parameter Explanation

P1 - The variable containing the name string to be validated as a full name.

Example

'***********************************

' ITS.-Sample

'***********************************
' Generate a first name and last name

TST.Generate PreName|GER|$$N01

TST.Get Lastname by Country|DEU|$$N02

' Combine them to form a full name

$$N04=$$N01 $$N02

' Validate the full name format

ITS.Is Fullname|$$N04

' Output the validation result

DBP.$$N04 is a valid Full Name.

ELS.

DBP.$$N04 is NOT a valid Full Name.

EIF.

' End the script

ENR.
