Changing name order... was created by csobay
Dear All,
I'm struggling with the name reordering, the similar problem that was solved in this thread . I did the same, found the data fixes option, entered the following in the search and replace tool:

search text/pattern:
NAME (.*) \/(.*)\/

replacement text:
NAME /${2}/ ${1}

search method: 
regular expression

records:
individuals

If I press the search button, it finds every person in the record column. However, there is a -- in the data fix column, and nothing happens when I press update all. What am I doing wrong? 
I appreciate any help.

Try again without using the backslashes in the search pattern. Forward slashes do not need to be escaped.
