I dont believe I posted the wrong one, but just in case: --------------------------------------- -- Function: CopyChildBranch --------------------------------------- function CopyChildBranch(ptrSrc, ptrTargParent) local ptrNew = fhCreateItem(fhGetTag(ptrSrc), ptrTargParent) fhSetValue_Copy(ptrNew, p...

CopyChildren_FromTo(ptrUDF, ptrINDI) why are you messing about with ptrInsert? That is a leftover declare from juking code around and debugging that does not one thing, as you can see. I will remove it. unless I have missed a post I have modified it, copied directly from your post. Ah, new lightbulb...

--------------------------------------- -- Function: CopyChildBranch --------------------------------------- function CopyChildBranch(ptrSrc, ptrTargParent) local ptrNew = fhCreateItem(fhGetTag(ptrSrc), ptrTargParent) fhSetValue_Copy(ptrNew, ptrSrc) local strTag = fhGetTag(ptrSrc) if strTag == "SOU...

well, zeroing in on the problem it is an @@ source, the debugger doesnt show that. it shows the field as @S1234567890@ (normal)

--------------------------------------- -- Function: CopyChildBranch --------------------------------------- function CopyChildBranch(ptrSrc, ptrTargParent) local ptrNew = fhCreateItem(fhGetTag(ptrSrc), ptrTargParent) fhSetValue_Copy(ptrNew, ptrSrc) CopyChildren_FromTo(ptrSrc, ptrNew) end ---------...

Yeah, no. ok, looking at the loop.

took awhile, but I did figure that out. I am now trying to fix those records where source is subsequent to NICK udf. if fhHasChildItem(ptrUDF) then CopyChildren_FromTo(ptrUDF,ptrINDI) fhSetValueAsLink(ptrINDI,ptrNew) end f I have understood miketate correctly, this should do it with the functions fr...

i Had looked at that and tried it

if ptrNick:IsNull() then
str = fhGetValueAsText(ptrUDF)
str = string.gsub(str,""","")
end


str = string.gsub(str,""","")
19: ')' expected near '","'

couldnt figure out how to make it work

I have seen that in the meantime, thank you. that will be the loop after if ghgetchild:is Null
I will then have a loopif fhgetchil:Isnotnull


current problem is stripping characters, in this case > " from a field.

Turning "Ollie" into Ollie

error: out(o) = str(I) unexpected symbol near =

lost.

Tabbed editors on mainframes even since about 2000. but the editor doesnt remember its position, so many other things that dont do or remember it wrongly.

Ok, it can be done.

little lost here. lets make 'tend' that I am in writing my plugin, and I need to reference something in say UDF list, slosh around and copy a bunch of code to where my cursor is in this one. so edit, click, edit, click, edit, click.....uh do they even window and cascade then? oh, I see, that is grue...

cool...right? while I am in the editor working on my program I will open a file of code snippets or another plugin to reuse code from ............uh, no.

I will go to the quick link index and go to knowledge base. Uh, no I will back out all the way from this forum and go to a screen and go to knowledge base and... in. Uh, no.

thank you for the code snippets I think I sort of understand them. Fairly straightforward method, as I thought there should be. With a few little decorations, what I had imagined it should be. Having spent over 3 years on UDF related things, I can confidently say that nearly 90% of udfs are items in...

I am struggling to learn LUA and the FH API. I code by debug. All three of these tools are woefully inadequate, the first two in documentation and the last in features and variable display.

I have the updated plugin list, and the plugin reports

I have not used it in a while, I am on 6.2.6

in a way, but when I have duplicates husband and wife, no matter which one I select, AND DELETE(understand this is different) because I have to get rid of it, or them the FH loses its mind and goes back to root.

thats how I got out of it, but do not recall hitting any other sort column.

For the last two days, pretty solidly heads down, I have been changing my Living /Olson/ and the like to first names so it ends up on the order of-- Fred G. /Olson/ (I got a gedcom that was more developed than mine from a cuz).

yup, using a place based query that does not work. It will present them right shifted so that it does not work in picking out from reverse, and left shifted so it does not work picking them out from standard, and switching to reverse, and using the numbers reversed, looking at 6 and 7 it doesnt work...

Have them, they don't do it.

Having spent the better part of two days on the 'query' system, and not accomplishing a thing...
