Maybe I missed a way to do this. Search does not have Begins with or Ends with. And Contains might not achieve what I want. I want to find with a Surname ending with a SPACE (or more than one) and only for primary name (which advanced Search allows for). I can do this in Sqlite quite easily but I prefer to do within RM and create a group that can be refreshed for audit purposes
RootsMagic explicitly strips all Space character(s) at the end of any field entries.
Well maybe on new entries but not previously existing (or if imported) or I am guessing that I would not have them. I tripped over 2 past week.
RM strips them from GEDCOMs in my quick test. Don’t know how anything could previously have existed. Perhaps they’re not Space, but rather a Alt-0160 or ZERO WIDTH SPACE character code or something
Of course we do know that RM’s search has problems Search/Replace and Space handling
Yes – good point – they could appear to be space but are diff char code.
Guess might need sqlite then (if I tripped over two I am guessing there could be more)
Thanks
