Now, I hope you can tell me a plugin that does heavy FAM processing and FAMC AND FAMS after that, I start a new thread on this new one.

now THAT's computing!! thanks miketate I thought I would be slick and do this: if #tblTwin > 0 then fhOutputResultSetColumn("Twin#", "text", tblTwin, #tblMML, 52, "align_left") end but it wrote the blank columns with header anyway. do I have to do separate result columns with switching logic? if #tb...

no the right adjust is not a mistake, its where I left it when I could put two spaces behind it.

the recordptr is left over from some other copy of something, it would be nice to have a strict in depth lint for lua but I dont know where one is.

here is my completed code works pretty good and has been bench tested a bit. It is based on Gary Carsons plugin and all this is based on miketates work. anyway, does some cool but specific stuff, so if you are tryng to learn some code, here is some. If you find errors, let me know, I will fix them. ...

the number from FaG memorial must be aligned right (for stare and compare) it is immediately followed by the http://www.find.... (twice, once for buddy and once to check the formation of url so if dup or badly formed url I can click and go to it) the space between the two is hard to look in, so I ad...

I am trying to solve for the general case: findagrave entries can have for example : http://www.findagrave.com/memorial/123456789/al-edwards https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/123456789/al-edwards www.findagrave.com/memorial/123456789/al-edwards www.findagrave.com/memorial/123456789/ www.findagrave...

ok. perhaps I am not understanding, for simplifed discussion I have: Al 1 ben 2 fred 2 josh 2 ralph 3 ed 4 my resultant table needs to be: ben 2 fred 2 josh 2 since they are the duplicates, and in most cases related, and one of them will on FaG contain links to the others. additional item has croppe...

that bit I understand, though the doc is a little murky, but I didnt code that one, just used a simpler one. it is apparent that parameters are positional, but I never thought to use a kinked parm in that I thought it would throw the pointer out into the ozone. In most of my coding career, if you di...

local strOldPage = fhGetValueAsText(ptrWork) this worked, looking at it I see why, but still a little shaky on why the old code didnt. I also needed to write strNewPage on line 5. This is going to help with the stare and compare, found 2 more on a quick run thru And earlier you had some code that wo...

it would end up looking for something like
'~.SOUR.PAGE' (base)
'~.SOUR.PAGE' (offset) so...

'~.SOUR.PAGE~.SOUR.PAGE'

well I've worked on this for quite some time....and dont know anymore than I did at the outset. -- FaG Web Page 1. ptrWork:MoveTo(ptr,'~.PAGE') 2. table.insert(tblPAGE,ptrWork:Clone()) 3. local strOldPage = fhGetDisplayText(ptrWork,'min') 4. local strNewPage = strOldPage:gsub("www.-(%d+)","%1") 5. t...

I try to be meticulous and accurate when entering information into my gedcom, nevertheless I am riddled with small errors. as a sideline to my FaG Cemetery Table (all other situations have been worked out by your help) I am doing a cut down report to search for one type of error: In the ~.SOUR.PAGE ...

no Idea how I duplicated it, but I have a very cramped keyboard.

CemAddr = ('~.' ..(fhGetTag(ptrWork)).. '.ADDR') ptrWork:MoveTo(ptrINDI, CemAddr) if ptrWork == nil then CemAddr = ('~.' ..(fhGetTag(ptrWork)).. '.NOTE') ptrWork:MoveTo(ptrINDI, CemAddr) end table.insert(tblCEM, ptrWork:Clone()) --this line fix in the debugger ptrWork is (null) how do I compare a po...

I will try that when I get home and see. thanks. Ill let you know.

I am; when people try to help, polite to them, that is...

I did it so its: Surname, Given All Sr. and avoided the problem altogether. also did the buddy field, not a big thing, like 4 lines or so inserted. I have spent countless months on my PLAC and ADDR fields, standardizing, and on every new thing I come up with, I still find mistakes (albiet very small...

i have no reports sidebar anything, this is the result of a plugin. so I go to save as pdf. before I do, I go to the printer (on the home computer there is no printer, the only option is FHPDF so I set it to landscape, and fit to size option for letter, it asks me after it prints, do I want to see i...

Just above the Save Report As button there is a Printer Setup button. What do you think that might do? Mines to the left. I think it does nothing whatsoever, having filled it out and asked for landscape and fit to page and it doesnt do that. What do you think it might do? I saw long ago that they ar...

I guess I see that. thanks. I sort of thought I might be able to fhGetValueAsLink, fhSetValueAslink, because under the covers, they have to be a pair of pointers (a dictionary, or table entry LOL) like any other symbolic link is under the covers. Just seems more straightforward and efficient to me, ...

ahhhhhhhhhh. thanks, still learning and stumbling on nuance. nuancedly, of course.

I have been sloshing around in the minimal pdf stuff. and see no way to make a hyperlink indication (although they do work) and no way to change portrait or landscape on the save as .. reports ...some of them (mine) are prima facie ugly and not obvious what page 2 is about thingie.
