Salil,
1.
You may prepare the NfN automatically with
Filter=1;
SetOption("NODEFAULTCOLUMNS",True);
AddTextColumn(Name(),"");
AddTextColumn(FullName(),"");
AddTextColumn("","");
Note that NfN should be prepared only once.
2.
I didn't know names with comma included.
Don't they read amibroker specs !!!
Anyway, if they are not that many, you may arrange them manually.
