Thanks Tim. The GEDCOM file, exported from my desktop genealogy program TMG, *shouldn't* have a case like that (a tngnote tag which isn't followed by its own Note), but... Hey, it's produced by a large, complex, software program which is no longer supported and does have a few known bugs. So obviously one can never guarantee what will actually happen in practice. I will certainly keep a lookout for this edge case -- it would indeed lead to very undesirable results. Presumably I should be able to do a search for two successive "2 TYPE tngnote" entries which don't have an intervening "2 NOTE " tag. Not sure how, but I'll give it a try. :-) Thanks for the heads-up on this, John -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
