Re: [LegacyUG] Still battling with Emdash errors

[Cathy Pinner]

Good to hear you've had success.

That would explain our differing results - I didn't have "Find whole 
word only" checked.

I worried a little about any I didn't find. I altered the "How to 
Find" section by unchecking "Find whole word only". I ran the search 
and replace again and picked up several more instances. This took care 
of the ones sandwiched between surnames and a few others as well.

I am pretty much satisfied I found most of the instances in various 
locations. I tried it with spaces before and or after the “\emdash” 
and picked up some with each of those variations.


The only problem seemed to be an emdash sandwiched between two 
uppercase surnames, with no spaces. As I went through search and 
replace, I made a note of those it wasn’t picking up (if I saw them 
next to ones it was picking up) and then went back to those people and 
fixed them.


Thank you very much for bearing with me. You have helped me immensely.

Jennifer,

Good to hear that you've made progress.
I know it shows as /'97 but that's not the way or the main way it's 
actually being saved in the database (I think I've said this before - 
search for \emdash - but maybe that was to someone else)


If "\emdash " isn't finding it try without the space on the end though 
when there weren't spaces in my test, it was finding them.


You may find you end up with xxx-- xxx instead of xxx--xxx but it's 
easy to search and replace on "-- " and replace with "--" if necessary.

Legacy picked up the second instance, but not the first. Have you any 
idea why? It may have something to do with no space after WENCK or 
before SAILOR.

I'm sorry this is causing you so much trouble.

This is replacing the \'97 which shows in the Notes when an emdash has 
been saved with no space on either side.


I'm not sure if this works on every field where you may ha ve emdashes.
It works in Birth Notes (so presumably other vital event notes),

Strangely emdashes are surviving in Citation detail.

I'm not sure whether the way an emdash has been saved has changed over

The biggest nightmare I have had in going form Legacy 7.5 to Legacy 9

properly in most instances.


I have been able to correct some with Search and Replace, but not the 
majority.


The missed ones in Search and Replace are where the Emdash did not 
have a space before or after. For example, SMITH”emdash”JONES; or 
“emdash”SMITH


Since I know most instances come from a particular Master Source, did 
a Show List for that source and came up with a list of nearly 1000 
names. I made a search list and tagged the names, and as I was going 
through the list untagged when I had checked and if necessary
