Properties
Operator
Choose an Operator from the pull-down menu.
In the descriptions below, a regular date is any valid GEDCOM date where Gedcom Publisher can parse day, month, and year values. You may omit the modifier and you may include all three parts, only month and year, or year only.
In the descriptions below, an irregular date is where Gedcom Publisher cannot parse a valid GEDCOM date except for the text part.
The choices are:
- Is empty – Returns true when the date value is empty. You might think of this as "does not have a date".
- Is not empty – Returns true when the date value is empty. You might think of this as "has a date".
- Before – Returns true when the date is before the comparand date in Date 1.
- Equals – Returns true when the date is the same as the comparand date in Date 1.
For regular dates, the comparison includes all the parts of the date (modifier, day, month, and year). For an irregular date (text only), the comparison compares only the text.
A regular date will never compare equal to an irregular date.
- Does not equal – Returns true when the date is not the same as the comparand date in Date 1.
- Same month as – Returns true when the date has the same month as the comparand date in Date 1.
You must specify both a month and a year in Date 1 even though only the month matters.
- Same year as – Returns true when the date has the same year as the comparand date in Date 1.
You must specify both a month and a year in Date 1 even though only the year matters.
- Between – Returns true when the date is between the comparand dates in Date 1 and Date 2, inclusive.
You must specify a regular date in both Date 1 and Date 2, or an irregular date in both Date 1 and Date 2. You cannot mix regular and irregluar dates.
Because the comparison is inclusive, "1 JAN 1940" is between 1 JAN 1940 and 2 JAN 1940. Also, "2 JAN 1940" is between 1 JAN 1940 and 2 JAN 1940.
A partial date, such as "JAN 1940" is not between 1 JAN 1940 and 31 JAN 1940. The day in "JAN 1940" is zero, and zero is less than 1.
- After – Returns true when the date is after the comparand date in Date 1.
- Within – Returns true when the date is within a certain number of days, weeks, months, or years of the current date, the date when making the book.
