it left over from the idea, since Fh doesn't handle latlong in a serious, MEANINGFUL and and standard way. Why not carry the *empty along? its really a waste of time, except for people who want lil ol non-standard stuff like that.

lol, yes, taking your more general case. (cuz, in this domain...Yankshir, we can generalize zipcodes, and in GBR they have sommat as well. I will get there because those 'zone improvement plans; though motile are logically geographical (in the old days, i bet you for parishes in your limeyshire) so....

nope, that doesn't quite get it either

the maths of the phrase I seek is:
iff field contains *ALL %d OR *ALL %d AND '-'
if string.match(field, ["%d"]
or if string.match(field,["%d-%d"]) then

like that somehow.

happy circumstance, it sees the - as a number (equation perhaps?)
so i can just use %d

for field in string.gmatch(strCemetery, "([^,]+)") do if field in string.gmatch(strCemetery, "%-?%d+") then field = " " end addr[index] = field index = index + 1 end so I am grabbing the address field. stuffing it in strCemetery I am then cutting it up into individual fields All Dead Saints Cemetery...

I am looking to make that a param. A run of haves and a run of of have nots as it were.

I have the list of FaG entries, they are in INDI records, which I can extract into a table using list source code as I noted at the outset. rather than lookup on FaG, I will lookup from a Table. premade, thats why we had that talk about keeping a table permenant some time ago on another thread. The ...

well, yes, and I thought of that. then the algorithm gets beyond me. Read FAMC Records, where there is none its a treetop, trivial as one pass thru the file, these are 'the oldest' records I have for any family line. I have read many FAMC and FAMS records on that pass that I have ignored. So, a seco...

1st answer. Clarification please, I dont understand you. Does it affect the algorhithm? 2nd answer how do I find the oldest families? Hence the title of the thread. problem I am facing 3rd, when they are common it runs out to the end from the first common INDI all the way thru, before moving on to t...

here. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/20460663/joseph-charles-sibley lets say he is the oldest in the file. go to his record write his wife, his children, their wives and children one line, in order all the way down until you can find no more. assume you can click the links all the way down and ...

How do I find the oldest (in time) families? I happen to know that Lovina Churchill is my oldest record in my file, she was born 1775 and she has a family. I want to write a file that has her and her husband and family down to her last descendent who is alive today in order, oldest to newest with th...

Lets say I have a table of names: Ames, Annabelle Zufelt, Richard they have one thing in common, they have a source @s1944@ which happens to be FindaGrave now in my PAGE I have http://www.findagrave...........112123 and so on in my note, I have section plot and all that rot So, now I have some magic...

Yeah, this sort of blew it for me. It cant be right, can it?

BillH's method will work for me well enough. Thanks BillH and Tatewise. CodeValleyGirl: Because I am trying to use AS in my SOe URcing Standardization and am interested in the templates and whatnot and have not discovered yet how to make the generals without putting them against a record, I wonder i...

add source add source add source to Source records serially without all the clicking around and not against a record

I want to gang up a bunch of sources in my source list I am an aggregator, and now I am running into many of the US State Census doings. my typical census record looks like: 1 CENS 2 DATE 18 JUN 1900 2 PLAC , Mazeppa (T109NR14W), Wabasha, MN, USA 2 SOUR @S1900@ 3 PAGE B, sheet 3, Dwelling 54, Family...

Thats better, I sure could use a lot of pruning so I could just see the minimal relations.

But............now the loopy and diamond lines I gotta figure out.

I have an I5 vpro. 64 bit windows. all up to date FH 6.2.6 . I tried the diagrams window and it spends most of its time in FH (not responding) but the thing that would be really useful, is lets say I have a 5th cousin 5 times removed. select him from the list, and select me, and see the minimal prun...

Thanks, that did it.

Well, all I that has to wait. I am back at moving all sources from sub-INDI.NAME to sub-INDI (making them whole record sources. the code as is as provided by tatewise is working all the way through except it does not put the records out for whole record. they delete from INdi.name.sour correcty wher...

thats pretty much what I am looking for, from there--- keys (I am sure that is doable, I just dont know the language yet) one way is to call an sql function I suppose. I figure it will be self healing because once my entries are done once, and do some maintenance, I will only have a few random place...

Yes. That makes sense. Probably why my SOURCES are disappearing off the face of the earth I have one and only one in my file that has a single NAME.SOUR) that I am moving to INDI.SOUR, and when that name comes up I debug line by line, and the SOUR is nowhere to be found.........I know in my sleep an...

because it has been a brief respite, we will grab a hold of our bearings. I am going thru indi records, finding if the name has sources, and if they do, attach those to the <whole record> and remove them from the NAME record... --main local ptrINDI = fhNewItemPtr() ptrINDI:MoveToFirstRecord("INDI") ...

--------------------------------------- -- Function: CopyChildBranch --------------------------------------- function CopyChildBranch(ptrSrc, ptrTargParent) local strTag = fhGetTag(ptrSrc) if strTag == "SOUR2" then -- Found a Source Note strSour2 = fhGetValueAsText(ptrSrc) strRecId = string.match(s...

fixed, although it didnt seem to hurt. I had about 20 versions, as I was learning...NickFix, FixNick, FIXNICK.... ad nauseam, and the two lines must have been in the original steal and I was between cleans and different lines in each...and I missed them, thanks. the sources that were under nick were...
