As usual Many Thanks Mike.

I haven't come across =GetLabelledText() before, or if I had I didn't appreciate what it did.

As usual I think I am asking for the impossible or something near it. I'm trying to write a query that looks at %INDI.NOTE2[1]% There will always be a line in that note somewhere in it that looks like:- CENSUSES: (c1847-1924) (where the values in brackets are there person's life dates) Don't ask why...

Hi Mike

Thanks for that, it works a treat
Regards

Thanks for that Mike.

Unfortunately I haven't managed to find the correct syntax for setting the value for the tag.

I'll persevere and see what I can come up with.

I'm writing a plugin to set the 'Preferred' flag on all BIRT events. [This relates to https://groups.io/g/family-historian/message/7112 - Highlight or Colour Facts on the property box] Following Mike's code above I can check if the flag already exists, so skip to next INDI. I can create the tag OK, ...

Many thanks Mike,
I'll get her to download it.

Hi Mike

Many thanks.

Hi I'm writing on behalf of a friend. She has just upgraded from v5.2 to v5.3 Using v5.2 it ran fine, but v5.3 gives the error message shown below OS: Windows 10 Pro FH: v6.2 ExportGed.png I personally can run v5.3 on Windows 11, using the same gedcom and get no problems. Any suggestion would be muc...

Thanks for the update Mike, much appreciated.

Hi Mike Problem solved. What she had done was make a copy of the project but instead of putting it within Family Historian Projects, she managed to get in within the original project folder - hence the long path. Scrapped the copy, made a copy of the project in the correct place and everything worke...

Hi Mike

Many thanks for that info.
Unfortunately my friend is out at present, but I will get her to shorten the path and see how it goes then.
It would certainly explain why it works on my machine and not hers.

Hi A friend of mine is having an issue trying to change Baptisms to Christenings FH 6 Plugin 3.6 I ran the plug in 'Change any Fact Tag' to change my baptisms to christenings and the following error came up [string "C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\Family Historian\..."]:634: Unable to open file in "ab" mo...

Hi Mike


Many thanks, that works (obviously).

I will need to do the reading as you suggest to work out just what is going on.

Hi I'm trying to get a person's year of birth. My first attempt works as long as the date just contains a number, but fails (understandably) if it contains Bef or Aft etc. pi - pointer to an INDI record What I want get is Year part of their BIRT date This works fine as long as YEAR is just a number ...

So near, and yet so far

Many thanks Mike

I'm trying to find all people who: Had an event in the USA Straight forward - Fact query Exclude unless %FACT.PLAC>% ends with USA Twist in the tail is that I need to identify only those whose surname was Yoxall at any point. No problem for those born as Yoxall: Just filter query by =FieldText(FactO...

Thanks Mike,

That works a treat (why am I not surprised).

I always struggle with LUA/GREP pattern matching for anything beyond the basic.

Thanks to DavidF and Mike

Managed to do a good chunk of it without too much effort.

Is there an 'append' option at all?
Ideally I would like to add 'England' on to the end.

If this results in some 'England, England' that's easy to fix.

Thanks again

I have a friend who has entered addresses without comma separators. All entries are in the Place field e.g. 31 Charles Street Cheadle Cheshire England I could easily add a comma before each space, unfortunately this fails with the street part. 31, Charles, Street, Cheadle, Cheshire, England Does any...

Mike

Thank you very much for the response.
I must say that I had not noticed the Undo option before.

Thanks for the suggestion Colin, unfortunately the user isn't really up to that.

Hi It's just been pointed out to me that if a person has no birth but does have a baptism, TNG doesn't display this in search results. TNGSearchResults.png TNG will only display the date if it is a CHR. I've spoken to Darrin Lythgoe and apparently it's on his wish list. Not wanting to change my FH d...

Thanks Mike,

I hadn't picked up that you could use FileRoot() as a function in its own right. The examples all tend to show as part of another function.

As usual your example worked a treat.

Cheers

I'm trying to use strHowRelated =fhCallBuiltInFunction("Relationship", ptrInd1, ptrInd2, "TEXT") as per the example in Plugin Help But instead of ptrInd1 I would like to reference the FileRoot I tried the obvious: strHowRelated =fhCallBuiltInFunction("Relationship", FileRoot() , ptrInd2, "TEXT") Unf...

Thanks for the clarification Mike.
