Searching contact records using text with an imbedded space
I've hacked Evans example to look up an internalid of a contact using their name.
It works fine as long as the search string does NOT have a space in it. If it contains a space the system throws a SQL error. I've tried putting escaped single and double quotes around the text, but the system then threw a different error about nulls.
Does anyone know how to do this?
The function I've used follows:
/* Lookup salesrep internalId by Sales Person Name */
function querySalesRepID( salesrep )
{
var filters = new Array();
//filters[0] = new nlobjSearchFilter( 'entityid', null, 'equalTo', salesrep, null );
filters[0] = new nlobjSearchFilter( 'entityid', null, 'contains', salesrep, null );
