Discussion: Notes on the n2o script

Notes on the n2o script The n2o script places the 'name' field from the iDEN phone into the 'First Name' Outlook field.
Clearly this is not ideal.
If your iDEN has "firstname lastname" format for your name field, you may refine this script by inserting a tab and the label "Last Name" on line 14, and the line
sed 's/ /<tab>/' |
after line 11 . ( note that <tab> above is a literal tab character, inserted into the file.)
Likewise, if the iDEN name format is "lastname, firstname", insert "Last Name<tab>" before First Name on line 14, and after line 11, put
sed 's/,/<tab>/' |

I hope this helps someone. It was an interesting project to figure out.
