quick way, from the individual records pane: search xxxx, geo find your george and george arthur if they are next to each other select one and arrow down to number two if there is something in between select first HOLD DOWN control key mouste down to the 2nd when they are selected, >edit>merge/compa...

support ticket was created however.

nope, dont need 6.7.2 test, I know it still exists in 7 and will turn in a ticket telling them so.
the pointer array problem is relevant to the tree problem I have outlined.

I am still trying to build a family list in order. I will certainly have memory issues, so I am using it as a short cut when I get done with the current phase, I will (or should have) mostly rcdid keys, those that are stll ptrs are unrelated other pools, but have orders and generations, then, I work...

can you confirm this is happening in fh7 Mike?

reason I ask, I say 6.7.2 they say meh, we will see if we get around to it.

I am trying to build a table of pointers: it is not making sense to me what is occurring: >> is the build _fix is an table of family pointers created in function 1. key is fptr and value is fID(recordid). it is entered when I am done prebuilding a FAM table.` then in function 2 I intend to add value...

its a pain, but I suppose one could do the command dir /X > sfn8_3.txt and cut it into a table of longfile name and shortfilename (8.3)

I have now run the two looping scripts, they are fine.

havent done the recursives yet.

there is also an unused pointer in loop descendant:
ptrFamilyRec = fhNewItemPtr()
probably should be:
ptrFamilyRecord = fhNewItemPtr()

and for consistency should add:
local ptrChildRecord = fhNewItemPtr()

https://www.fhug.org.uk/kb/code-snippet/ancestor-and-descendant-list-creation/ looping style GetAncestorList does not work. The entire codesnip is nonsensical. first: it does not compile. there is a bottom half of a non existant loop at line 45 and 46. moving the iLoop counter to line 44 and removin...

To form double-barrelled names into one indivisible name, the two names can be separated by a no-break-space character code 0160, which in ƒh V6.0 can be added to the repeated space popup as follows. Click its cog, select the Hold Key (space) and click Edit, then insert Alt+0160 between any existing...

everything says that gedcom is lineage linked. nowhere is there an algorithm I can find for linking it. I need some clever algorithm design help. I have fought this for 4 years. My current iteration runs root to treetops for mother and father and goes down (which allows me to include some of the nec...

I wonder if a cenotaph should be a separate source template then a 'regular' monument, and its monumental inscription.

vis: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/160 ... dward-hunt

way back when I tried using AS and could never figure it out. Its on my list to do. Seems to me you have individual monuments and family monuments. I don't know if you can split them into two types programattically (well, you can; is it worth it?) indi monuments would be straightforward. the family ...

dont have a configurable line there that I can find in 6.7.2 but still a pastiche, no reason it cant be in the family record in the focus window. So not good for me on two counts.

Lorna, that does not work with my long names. to others, I do not want a custom id have enough stuff I cant keep track of and it would not correct the problem. if the record ids for the individuals did not appear after the names in the focus window, would anyone consider that an error? if you had to...

that is the one I mean. I will have to see if there is a wish list for that fh error.

I can find no way to insert the record id in the marriage box inside the focus window, is there a way to do it?

we first need to know what the extension of the document is. likely Opera became the default opener.

Precisely my point at the outset Mike. I can by the nefarious means of inspection and counting by hand say: she is -1 therefore her father is -2 and her grandfather -3 from me, the root; at 0, and install that in a table, and by that same process, do all other non-relations in pool 1. The other pool...

GEN = fhCallBuiltInFunction('RelationCode', QY_ROOT, iptr, 'Generation', ix or 1) -- or -100 go to your grandfather on your fathers side, pick a brother, then his son, that should put you and him at -1 if you are QY_ROOT and he is iptr, or vice versa. now go to his wife, which also should be generat...

same program but slightly different topic. I have a sister. her generational offset from me is 0, her husbands is also 0. fh calculates no generational offset to his parents, brothers, sisters, --- in short his kin. logically the generational offset between his parents and me is -1 we are all in poo...

after all day and almost all night yesterday of small changes here and there to debug and correct code and find this problem (likely compiled it several hundred times) I closed everything out and went to bed. I tried it this morning to try and better explain what is going on, no changes, it works. c...

this is below lua 101 like 1st form lua, but I am not getting it. code snip and some table entries fID is the record id of a FAM record. 2. DEQ.fID 2217 is NEQ FAMLIMIT[DEQ.fID] 37 1 DEQ = QFAM:deQ() 2 if not FAMLIMIT[DEQ.fID] then xptr:MoveToRecordById('FAM', DEQ.fID) local ptrFAM = xptr:Clone() --...

those formulas are not my forte but will this work?
