IsName

Use this function to determine if the text string is a valid name of the specified type. The supported types are SYMBOL, USER, and OTHERS, though the specification of these types is optional. A value of 1 is returned if the name is valid for the specified type; a value of 0 means the name is not valid.

Syntax:

ISNAME("Text"[,"USER"|"SYMBOL"|"OTHERS"])

where:

  • Text is the name whose validity is to be tested, enclosed in double quotation marks.
  • SYMBOL sets the specified type to symbol.
  • USER sets the specified type to user.
  • OTHERS checks non-user and non-symbol types.
