You need to save all your abbreviations to some table with codes in your database. And get it to a list and select code. Or You can hardcode all the abbreviations directly into a list or dictionary and query it with the value

@Bala this is not the right way to do Because we never know that what kind of abbreviations we get.. Some examples are AAFIThe Amateur Athletics Federation of India 3GThird Generation AICTEAll India Council for Technical Education COMSATCommunications Satellite Corporation your code should always be generic

Absolutely... Santosh is correct... The input from the USer can be anything... We should never assume anything while developing a s/w... I think Santhosh's first answer is helpful... Cheers!!!
