Thanks for all the suggestions. Between the this suggestion to use
'componentsSeparatedByString:@" "' and the suggestions I got last
night, I KNOW I'll be able to put something together.
The thing about learning a new language, especially when dealing with
Obj-C and Cocoa is you REALLY don't know what you don't know. I never
would have known about the "componentSeparatedByString" if it wasn't
suggested.
Silly question here (or maybe not): do you ever get a feel for
everything that is provided you through Obj-C and Cocoa?
Thanks again,
Brad Bumgarner, CTA

Yup, I know that code. In fact I've been able to create a complex
query where I can search for first and/or last name. The problem I
run into is when I enter the person's first and a space before
entering the last name. Since there are no spaces in the db
between the first and last names, no entries are found. For now,
I'm just going to have to stick with entering the first name. I
need to get this moving forward. Once I've got a better handle on
things THEN I'll come back to it.
Hi Brad,
the solution to this could be
- to separate your search string in parts using
'componentsSeparatedByString:@" "' (NSString)
- and build ABSearchElements for all resulting substrings.
- Then you can combine them for your search using 'ABSearchElement
searchElementForConjunction:kABSearchOr children:...'
Hope that helps,
Dominik
