If you have name as "FirstName MiddleName LastName", just split it over space. Not sure how will you manage in case first name itself contains space.
It's not necessary to be so stupid, either, but people manage it. - Christian Graus, 2009 AD
thanks, that's what i did :D but the one you've pointed out thats where my problems begin :D i just really need a regex or something to really isolate what i want to be extracted and it would not matter if the user enters some of this format's. lastname, firstname mi. firstname 2ndname mi. lastname i really wanted to have a result just like how outlook used a single textbox for fullname, and breaks it down to its specific fields. i dont like to implement IF's and Switch's, i think there a better solution in splitting or extracting the fields

I think a regex is going to be horribly complex, and even then won't work everywhere: France: M. Pierre De Gaul US: Dr M Jones Japan: Surname first? Ireland: Shaemus O'Connor

Even that will not help. If first name can have a space, why can't middle name have one? Or even the last name?

so whats the best way then? maybe i will just use 3 textbox separating the 3 fields and labeling then with the proper labels :D hopefully there could be a better solutions for this.
