[rules-users] Comparing names

[Ian Spence]

Shannon,
Yes correct, adding "WHITE, MARY" would mean an extra name, different to the
other Titles.  Another case maybe to still have same number of name but a
change of for one person, so "JONES, FRED" is now "CLINTON, BILL".

Do you have a different solution to the one proposed by Wolfgang?  I would
prefer for the rule to fire once...
