Descendant list to GEDCOM

Post by Anthony_Pigott » 20 Jan 2013 12:23

I wondered if anyone knew of a method of converting a descendant list (in one of the standard formats) into a GEDCOM file. I've got a large example that it would be good to look at in FH without retyping. I did find this:

which looked as if it would do the job but when I tried, it failed at the final conversion stage.

Logically, it ought to be fairly straightforward to code, but I've no desire to re-invent the wheel.

Thanks.

I have not seen any other applications for this.

Depending on the format of the report using a lua plugin it should be fairly simple to do, using a template to identify where the data us using lua patterns.
