                          Drop it because you got it all wrong (on two counts) First: Kim is his last name, as with his father and grandfather before him. Many Asian cultures use lastName first-names as the normal order of presentation. Second: Referring to anything numeric and french in the same breath is your basic oxymoron as they cannot count above sixty.

                            well yeah, if there is "no X" then how to find X when there is/are none? but then again "NoOne not found" is double negative, so does that mean One is found? or does "NoOne not found" mean there might be any number except One? hmmmmm, new year resolution: fix English language ....but nah, that would take all the fun out of it. (BTW, the fun part is: devs providing the requester what they asked for and not what they wanted. :laugh: )

                                        What if I rewrote the name as "1st1". Would that help you?
