Hi I have a search box that currently contains only one field. I normally have one input for first name, one for lat name and so on, which makes the task of searching somewhat easier. However, in this scenario that is not the case. So, what I want to do is split the search term entered into distinct variables. An example - let's say someone enters "joe blogs" in the search field (without quotes). I then want to be able to parse it so that I have one variable for "joe" and another for "blogs", which I can then search on since the database is organised into first_name, last_name, maiden_name, email, etc. The criteria for this will be the space between the names. This looks like a case for regular expressions. I know how to use REFind to check for the space, but that's all so far (I've spent some time on this, and even read the docs!). Can someone help me here please? TIA
