in reply to regular expression issue

Two clarifications would be helpful:

  1. are `simon DeGauo' and `simon DeGauo Henderson' two different people, or the same person with their name presented two different ways in the database?

  2. In these two records:
    123!simon DeGauo!rm-200!Dr. Andre
    123!simon DeGauo!rm-200!Dr. Banks
    Are we seeing two records for the same person, or two different people with the same name?

    Ans. to Question 1
    These are different people that may share parts of thier names.

    Ans. to Question 2
    what you wrote in the second question is the same patient but with different doctors. I mentioned this senario in my initial question.
