I have a old post going where the question eventually evolved into this question. It is a few day old and I think the "new" question got burred in the discussion so I am starting a new thread below witha proper title.
I used NirSoft NK2 Edit to import and old auto-complete list from OL2003. When I open the imported list display names as is in the format of Bob Smith (bobsmith@sample.com). I just want the name not the (email address)
I can edit each entry manually (1000 names), but I would obviously like to bulk fix it. NK2 Edit does have a search/replace feature but I dont think it supports wildcards. I thought I could export the current file and write a little VB program to fix the file but it looks like N2K edit will only import a "simple" CSV file. If I import the simple CSV the entries are no longer linked to the actual contacts.
So the new questions are:
1. Any way to batch edit/remove the email address from the display names in the auto-complete file?
(I am not opposed to deleting the current auto-complete file and starting over with the OL 2003 NK2 file if needed)
2. The OL 2003 file was from a different Exchange server. Do yo think importing the old list is going to create any type of issues (ie I have no idea what the entry ID is for, for example, and if it has anything to with the older server or if it got updated to the new server info when I imported it)
Thanks
