Individuals are not loaded #186

Closed unnivm closed 6 years ago

unnivm commented 6 years ago

I have a .GED file and tried to load parse and load the content. But none of the individuals are loaded. Not only that. I checked for any family data. Even that also was not loaded. I am not getting any exception. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

thank you

I found out the reason. My GED file contains entries like CHILD, FAMILY_SPOUSE, FAMILY_CHILD , INDIVIDUAL etc. But in your sample file, all these names are shortened. Is it possible to add support for the above notations as well?

thank you

Hi,

It sounds to me like your file does not comply with either the GEDCOM 5.5 or 5.5.1 spec so I don't anticipate changing the library to read non-standard files.

I'm sorry not to be of more help.

Thank you Matt for the information. But when I checked my it is 5.5. Please find the header of the file.

0 HEADER 1 SOURCE FTW 2 VERSION 11.0 2 NAME Family Tree Maker for Windows 2 CORPORATE MyFamily.com, Inc. 3 ADDRESS 360 W 4800 N 4 CONTINUED Provo, UT 84604 3 PHONE (801) 705-7000 1 DESTINATION FTM 1 DATE 19 JUL 2015 1 CHARACTER ANSI 1 FILE D:\Unsed\ftw\ALAKKAT.GED 1 GEDCOM 2 VERSION 5.5 2 FORM LINEAGE-LINKED 0 @I00001@ INDIVIDUAL

In fact this file was generated using a family tree maker tool.

If not possible, please let me know how can upgrade my file to your standard. If required I can develop a plug in or utility to do so.

Please let me know.

UPDATE: I validated my GED file using an online tool and it says it is not a valid one.

"File not recognised as valid GEDCOM file, appears to be in FTW TEXT format"

Thank you. Unni M

I was able to load my file by transforming to standard GEDCOM. So this issue can be closed. Thank you for your co-operation
