Editing a Contact List

[ksuttonlab]

I am trying to figure out how to search a contact list by name and then edit that name in the contact list using the replace item function. Has anyone been able to successfully do this?

if you could give me an example of what would be in the list, I could then figure out how to do it. It does sound really simple though.

Take a look at this contact list. I'm trying to make it allow the user to edit the name. The name is item 1 of each of the sublists of the main global variable list: contact list

Is this for an assignment or are you just doing it for fun?

Here's an easy way to do it. You should load the List Utilities library, then do this

I suggest doing this instead of using "text contains"

Then just replace item one of results, when you do that, you also edit the actual contact. Here's the code for reference (I did fix a few things)

I have tested this out and it does work.
