aljones Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I'm at a loss here, since I'm pretty sure autoit can do what I want but I don't see examples to help lead me to a solution. Specifics: I have a CSV file downloaded (legally) from the SSA that contains registration information on everyone from 1936 - 2000 and who are confirmed deceased. Fields are, for example, first name, middle name, surname, SSN, date and place of birth ... etc. What I want to do is parse the file, person by person, and fill in the 'Person' information on RootsMagic genealogy program. I was a programmer in my past life (I'm 76m give me a break) so examples or point me to the help articles that would show me how to do what I want.

Solution Danp2 Posted April 25, 2023 Solution Share Posted April 25, 2023 It would be way faster to import the data via an API or the built-in import mechanism. It doesn't appear that you can do it directly, but you could convert the CSV into Gedcom format, and then import that into RootsMagic. I found this list, which includes a CSV option. Good luck!

aljones Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 @Danp2 Well, that wasn't exactly what I was looking for but it did give me a workable direction I hadn't thought of. I'm thinking that a quick BASIC program will take that CSV and let me write out a GEDCOM ... which as I said hadn't occurred to me. Thanks for the suggestion //al (( and with that I'll close this now. )) (( ARGH VS 2022 is a lot different from VS2015 but I'll survive and learn ... old brain needs exercise anyway )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
