  1. Hi Jane

    You must be a mind reader  – I was just sitting down to find a duplicate finder for Custom ID and found you’d just done it.

    May I suggest a minor refinement?

    I find it useful to know what the actual duplicate REFN is.

    (Simply because some of my entries have a duplicate generic family identifier until I get chance to fill them in properly)

    I added 3 lines:

    local tblDup3 = {}              — Table to store the custom ID

    table.insert(tblDup3,strId)  — Store the custom ID

    fhOutputResultSetColumn(‘Refn’, ‘text’, tblDup3, #tblDup1)  –Display the custom ID

     

    Many thanks for an excellent plugin
