Hoping I can get this question answered here.

I have been trying to use perl to parse gedcom files and have not had much luck.

My main goal is to get it to show me a list of people and then the contents of the notes section of their record. My script is based on the example code found here:

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Gedcom/lib/Gedcom.pm

The only results I can seem to get back is the persons name and the reference number of the notes associated with that person.

I appreciate any help on this matter

Thanks

Script follows:

 

#!/bin/perl -w

  use strict;

  use Gedcom;

  my $ged = Gedcom->new(shift);

  for my $i ($ged->individuals)

  {

      for my $n ($i->get_value("note"))

      {


print "========================================\n";

          print $i->name, "\n";

          print $i->note, "\n";

#print "========================================\n";

      }

  }

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
