You're welcome. Remember that you have to do another "Replace" to remove the trailing [:CIT]. Set the options like this: Field: Event Memo Find what: [:CIT] Replace with: Contents must match Find What exactly: False Use Pattern Matching: False Match Case: False Find Whole Word Only: False The "Replace with" value is empty above, but you might want to key a single space. Thanks! I did both and it worked great. Her sources aren't where they should be but, at least they're there! I also used your Utility to globally change some of the event types to conform them to TMG and the Gedcom 5 Standard. She had events with their gedcom tags that aren't in the standard used today. So, when she has shared gedcoms with other researchers, all her events are not being exported. Thank you for a wonderful tool!!!

Thank you, John! That (of course) worked perfectly. I thank you and my friend most certainly thanks you!!! Kathy

John, I have tried that but no success. I am using version 7.0 of your Utility. Using the Find and Replace pane, I choose Event Memo as the field; Find What = [CIT:]; Replace with = SOURCE:. When i check the option that Contents must match Find What exactly, I get 0 results found. When I choose another option instead such as Find whole Word Only, then i get lots of results, but unfortunately, they include the end of the tag as well ( [:CIT] so that won't work for me. Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks for your help! Kathy

I am trying to help a friend who has been using UFT to switch over to TMG. This is the problem: In UFT, she made the huge mistake of not entering her source citations in the proper place .... because she did not know how. She entered then in the Endnote field. So, when I imported her data into TMG, the source info came over in the Memo field for each event like this: [CIT:]Film 339 St. Joseph's Church, Mission San Jose, San Francisco Archives at 320 Middlefield Road, Menlo Park, CA 415-328-6502 Baptisms New book page 126 Have photo of page from book.[:CIT] So, her sources are all in the memo field for each event. That's not too bad, at least the data is there.Those citation "fields" within the Memo do not export. I know that they are source elements and so do not print either. Is there a way to either eliminate the [CIT:] and [:CIT] brackets altogether, possibly replacing them with some unbracketed text in each memo that will export in a gedcom or print in a report? Something like "Source:" or something else OR a way to do a gedcom export that would include them as they are? I even tried doing that with John Cardinal's fine Utility, but was not successful. If anyone knows of a way to do this, I'd really appreciate the insight. (She has over 13,000 people in her family database ...... too many to edit each event individually.) Thanks for any help! Kathy
