I have a lot of dates that are
<date>-<date>, 1917-1918
with just a single dash, no spaces, and they need to be converted to
From <date> to <date> From 1917 to 1918
At this point I don't think I need/want anything any more sophisticated than converting from "dash" to "from/to" in order to get these dates recognized.
I have found line 344 in the plugin which seems to do the job if there IS a space on either side of the dash:
Code: Select all
{ '^"(.*%d[%d/]+) ?%- ?(.*%d[%d/]+)"$' ; 'Frm %1 to %2' }; -- Fix "Date - Date"
Code: Select all
{ '^"(.*%d[%d/]+)?%-?(.*%d[%d/]+)"$' ; 'Frm %1 to %2' }; -- Fix "Date-Date"
Also, I'm currently prepared to fix the following in the GEDCOM, but it might be something to add to the file for other future RootsMagic people:
UNTIL <date> convert to TO <date>
SAY <date> convert to EST <date>
