search includes middle name ?

[Noop3]

How do I search for not only first and last name, I want to combine middle name also

[tvvoorst]

This definitely is not perfect but got the job done for me. Works for most names that have prefixes (von, El, di etc. ), assume it would work for middle names aswell. Might require some work for multiple middle names.

python3 ../crosslinked.py -f "{f}.{prefix}.{last}@google.de" "Google"

Replace in __init__.py

def nformatter(nformat, name):
    # Get position of name values in text
    tmp = nformat.split('}')
    print(tmp)
    f_position = int(re.search(r'(-?\d+)', tmp[0]).group(0)) if ':' in tmp[0] else 0
    l_position = int(re.search(r'(-?\d+)', tmp[1]).group(0)) if ':' in tmp[1] else -1

    # Extract names from raw text
    tmp = name.split(' ')
    # check if name contains prefix/middlename
    if len(tmp) > 2:
        f_name = tmp[0]
        p_name = tmp[1:-1]
        # combine prefixes with a period
        p_name = '.'.join(map(str, p_name))
        l_name = tmp[-1]

        # Use replace function to create final output
        val = re.sub(r'-?\d+:', '', nformat)
        val = val.replace('{f}', f_name[0])
        val = val.replace('{first}', f_name)
        val = val.replace('{l}', l_name[0])
        val = val.replace('{last}', l_name)
        # if its a one char, or ends in period remove middle name
        if p_name.endswith('.') or (len(p_name) == 1):
            val = val.replace('.{prefix}', "")
            val = val.replace('{prefix}', "")
        else:
            val = val.replace('{prefix}', p_name)
        print(val)
        return val
    else:
        try:
            f_name = tmp[f_position] if len(tmp) > 2 else tmp[0]
            l_name = tmp[l_position] if len(tmp) > 2 else tmp[-1]
        except:
            f_name = tmp[0]
            l_name = tmp[-1]

        # Use replace function to create final output
        val = re.sub(r'-?\d+:', '', nformat)
        val = val.replace('{f}', f_name[0])
        val = val.replace('{first}', f_name)
        val = val.replace('{l}', l_name[0])
        val = val.replace('{last}', l_name)
        # remove prefix name placeholder if it does not exist 
        val = val.replace('.{prefix}', "")
        val = val.replace('{prefix}', "")

        print(val)
        return val
