See the Filters help page for more information about filters.
Use the Tag Place Part by Number term to filter tags based on a subfield of the Place value. Returns true when the Place part text passes the filter condition described by the term's comparison properties.
Places are split into parts at each comma (",") character. For example, the place "Old North Church, Boston, Massachusetts" has three parts:
- Old North Church
- Boston
- Massachusetts
Properties
Place
Choose a Place from the pull-down menu. The choices are:
- Place 1 — where Place 1 is the value from the PLAC GEDCOM tag or the main place value for other genealogy data files.
- Place 2 — where Place 2 is the value from the ADDR GEDCOM tag.
- Place 3 — where Place 3 is the value from a custom GEDCOM tag.
Part Number
Enter a Part Number. You may specify a number from one to nine or minus-one to minus-nine. If you specify a negative number, the parts are numbered in reverse order (right to left), so part -1 will return the last place part, part -2 will return the second to last part, etc.
Operator
Choose an Operator from the pull-down menu.
For all comparisons, letter case does not matter, so "a" matches "A", for example.
The choices are:
- Equals – Returns true if the text in the Place part value and the comparand text are equal.
- Does not equal – Returns true if the text in the Place part value and the comparand text are not equal.
- Empty – Returns true if the text in the Place part value is empty.
- Not empty – Returns true if the text in the Place part value is not empty.
- Starts with – Returns true if the text in the Place part value starts with the comparand text.
- Does not start with – Returns true if the text in the Place part value does not start with the comparand text.
- Contains – Returns true if the comparand text occurs somewhere in the text in the Place part value.
- Does not contain – Returns true if the comparand text does not occur somewhere in the text in the Place part value.
- Matches – Returns true if the text in the Place part value matches the Regular Expression in the comparand. Regular Expressions in GedSite are always case-insensitive.
- Does not match – Returns true if the text in the Place part value does not match the Regular Expression in the comparand. Regular Expressions in GedSite are always case-insensitive.
- Ends with – Returns true if the text in the Place part value ends with the comparand text.
- Does not end with – Returns true if the text in the Place part value does not end with the comparand text.
Comparand
Set the Comparand to the text you want to compare to the Place part value.
Title
Use the Title property to set the title of the filter term. GedSite will set the title automatically when you change one of the other properties. If you want to use your own title, set the Title property after you set the other term properties.
