extract first name and last name from the given text to glide from sys_user table

[Kevin68]

Hi 

extract first name and last name from the given text to glide from sys_user table

the text I got is (last_name,first_name) Zach, Maria.

how can I extract these two and glide from sys_user table based on both first name and last name?

can I use this query 

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
gr.addEncodedQuery("first_name=row[header12].substring(',')^last_name=row[header12].substring(0,',')");

?

Hi Kevin,

Please try below script 

var name = "Tuter, Abel";
var first_name = name.split(",")[1].trim();
var last_name = name.split(",")[0].trim();
gs.log(first_name);
gs.log(last_name);

var gr_user = new GlideRecord("sys_user");
gr_user.addEncodedQuery("first_name="+first_name+"^last_name="+last_name);
gr_user.query();
if(gr_user.next()){
gs.log(gr_user.name);
}
