Process Event Lines (Birth or Death)

Extracts event details (e.g., date, place, cause, latitude, longitude) from a block of GEDCOM lines. Uses level-aware sub-block parsing so fields are looked up by tag name rather than fixed offsets.

Usage

processEventLine(event, block, i, record, pattern_rows, event_fields)

Arguments

event

A character string indicating the event type ("birth", "chr", "death", or "burial").

block

A character vector of GEDCOM lines.

i

The current line index where the event tag is found.

record

A named list representing the individual's record.

pattern_rows

A list with counts of GEDCOM tag occurrences.

event_fields

A named list of field mappings as returned by make_event_fields().

Value

The updated record with parsed event information.
