As I attempt to get away from the captive user interface that is MyHeritage Family Tree Builder, this project is central to my toolchain whenever family members share new information with me.
I'd like to edit gedcom files by:
converting all the data in my gedcom file to CSV
edit the CSV data in my favorite program (could be plaintext editor or a spreadsheet)
Save the CSV data
Write the entire CSV file out to gedcom again
I think your project does the hard work to make this possible, but part 4) I need some guidance to figure out (I'm trying to learn Golang but am not there yet). Is it possible to provide a code sample to guide me? This is the closest I can see in the docs but I'm not sure whether "encoding" means "writing Golang data out to gedcom file."
Again, fantastic work and I hope I'll be using this project long term.
