HI All,
Last year about this time I posted a thread about conditional labeling using python. I received awesome assistance and was successful in working out a successful script, which I use regularly.
I need to redo this script to accommodate some changes made to the data and looking for some input. The current script modifies the label for owner names. Example: in the table the value is SMITH, JOHN JASON. The script/expression displays this as:
SMITH,
J.J.
The value now appears in the table as JOHN JASON;SMITH with first name first and last name second. I would like the script to label with last name first, followed by initials as shown above.
Here is the current working script:
Any thoughts on this are much appreciated.
Regards,
Mike

Code:
def FindLabel ([ANAME], [OWNER_NAME] ):
text = [ANAME]
text2 = [OWNER_NAME]
S2 = text.split(',')
S = text.split(', ')
if len(S) == 1:
S2 = S[0].split(' ', 1)
S2 = S2[0] + '\n' + S2[1]
else:
S2 = S[0] + ',\n'
ABBREV = ''
S3 = S[1].split(' ')
for each in S3:
if not each in ('&', 'AND'):
ABBREV = ABBREV + each[0:1] + '. '
else:
ABBREV = ABBREV + each[0:1] + ' '
S2 = S2 + ABBREV[0:-1]
return S2Regards,
Mike
