 Lotus Script Agent to prepend shortname field?
Address book, Agents, Exchange, Lotus Domino
I find myself in an aquisition situation where I have to (overnight) update the shortname field in the NAB with the existing shortname @ aquiring company's domain name. I'd like to script this because I have over 1,000 users and would prefer not to manually edit every person document. I understand that in order for the outgoing mail to come from @acquiringcompany.com, that has to be first in the shortname field. There is a requirement to keep the @currentcompany.com alias as well. While I've written append scripts before, I haven't written or found a prepend script/agent that seems to work effectively. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Michelle R. Maertz

Answer Wiki:
Michelle, To prepend a field you can take your append script and reverse the order of the elements. Arrays can be prepended or appended with other arrays; thus, tmparray = valuetoprepend (must be array value) orgarray = currentfieldvalue newarray = arrayappend(tmparray,newarray) fieldvalue = newarray Make sense?
