Sorry Malte - I didn't handle > relationships, only = and <.
That part of the script should be changed to be
-- now normalize the direct relationships
put empty into gRelate
repeat for each line L in tData
if word 2 of L = "<" then
put sample(word 1 of L) into t1
put sample(word 3 of L) into t2
put t1 && t2 & CR after tUnequal
else if word 2 of L = "<" then
put sample(word 1 of L) into t1
put sample(word 3 of L) into t2
put t2 && t1 & CR after tUnequal
end if
end repeat
You asked
function testValidRelationships pPerson1,pPerson2
which returns a triplet like
false,true,false
-- can not be older,can be younger, can not be the same age.
Do you think your script can be expanded to check this?
Yes, though I would prefer a different function / result. You have "can
not be older" - but that means either "is younger" or "is same" and you
know which it is.
How about
function getRelationship p1, p2
-- returns one of
-- older (p1 is older than p2)
-- younger (p1 is younger)
-- same
-- unknown (not enough info to tell anything about their relationship)
Here it is ...
function getRelationship p1, p2
-- returns one of
-- older (p1 is older than p2)
-- younger (p1 is younger)
-- same
put sample(p1) into p1
put sample(p2) into p2
if p1 = p2 then return "same"
if p2 is among the lines of gOlder[p1] then return "younger"
if p1 is among the lines of gOlder[p2] then return "older"
return "unknown"
end getRelationship

Hi Alex,
thanks for taking the time to look into this. (and not late to the party at all)
If I provide this data to your Script:
Steffen> Malte
Sascha< Malte
Fritz = Sascha
I get back
Fritz----->
Malte
in the field. Which is true, but it leaves steffen untouched in this case. I
guess what I would be looking for is something like
function testValidRelationships pPerson1,pPerson2
which returns a triplet like
false,true,false
-- can not be older,can be younger, can not be the same age.

Thanks a heap again for taking the time to look into this.
Cheers,
Malte
