I've got a client who also is big into genealogy. He's using Brothers
Keeper for his desktop application and TNG for his website. (
http://lythgoes.net/genealogy/software.php )
BK allows for tracking of Census Names, but when it is exported into a
Gedcom file for import into TNG, it is a level 2 record that TNG doesn't
support. If I "promote" that to a level 1 record, then TNG can import
it if that tag is entered as a custom tag record.
We'll know shortly if it works out.
I ended up using a low level write method using FPUTS() and various
ALLTRIM() to make it work. I used WinMerge ( http://winmerge.org/ ) to
compare the before and after Gedcom files. WinMerge is like
BeyondCompare but cheaper. I can post the code later but I don't have
that VM fired up right now.

Hey, I've got a gedcom file. I'll have to try this.
Not tried, but how about using varchars instead of fixed-width column
fields.
Padded with spaces is a "feature" of FoxPro's fixed columns.

Hello Fox Experts!
I'm writing a quick utility to manipulate a text file. Here's the
(simplified) program I've got so far:
sGedCom = "Gedcom1.ged"
CREATE CURSOR c_GedCom (cType C(7), sF1 C(200), sF2 C(200) )
APPEND FROM (sGedCom) TYPE SDF
REPLACE ALL cType WITH "1 _CENN" FOR cType = "2 _CENN"
sGedCom = FORCEEXT( sGedCom, "GED1" )
COPY TO (sGedCom) TYPE SDF
The Gedcom1.ged has almost a million records but it only takes about 3
seconds to load the file, do the replace, and export. Nice.
MY PROBLEM: the exported file has the trailing spaces on each line while
doing the SDF export. I basically want each line to be ALLTRIM'd. I can't
find the right setting or parameter to make that happen.
I can always do a FWRITE() for each line, but I figure there's a built in
way to do this.
Thanks!
