Add support for "LastWord" text formatting

[GeorgeJ4336]

AppColl has some nice text formatting codes, such as ToUpper and FirstWord. For example, {Matter.Title(FirstWord ToUpper)}.

Please consider adding LastWord to the list of supported text formatting codes. This would be very handy in formulating e-mail addresses, such as to USPTO examiners. Examiners' e-mail addresses are almost always of the form <first_name>.<last_name>@USPTO.gov. Thus, a "to" address to an examiner could be coded something like:

{Matter.Examiner} <{Matter.Examiner(FirstWord)}.{Matter.Examiner(LastWord)}@USPTO.gov>

Thanks,
George

@gregg_appcoll Perfect! Thanks.

I can now automatically address e-mail correspondence to examiners, such as to request interviews. In the "To" field, I put:

{Matter.Examiner} <{Matter.Examiner(FirstWord)}.{Matter.Examiner(LastWord ToTitleCase)}@USPTO.gov>

and in the salutation, I put:

Dear Examiner {Matter.Examiner(LastWord ToTitleCase)}:

-George

Hi Richard - this is an interesting idea. Unfortunately, the Examiner is a string field and not a contact. Changing this would be difficult.

Hi George,

This should work now. Can you give this a try?

@GeorgeJ4336 My suggestion is that Matter.Examiner and other name fields should be treated similarly to a Contact so that the .First, .Middle, .Last, etc. subfields that we can specify for Contacts could be used for non-Contact name fields.
