Guys,
I've been posting a good deal of new information on the wiki, as well as writing other stuff, that, though not yet posted, may well find it's way there eventually.

In an earlier thread we discuss the idea that we could make this stuff searchable by scripture reference. The question i have for you guys is whether there is an established way that I should be keying the scripture references? If so what is it? If not, we should probably develop one. I'm sure that the way I'm keying things now is not at all friendly to any kind of scripting tools that you guys would like to use/write to accomplish that.

Here's an example:

You never said you were a computer geek! Hey buddy!

In the old code, the match happened basically in two parts:

A) Identify something that looks like a book-of-the-bible name (case insensitive), followed by whitespace, then a number.
B) Starting with the number after the bible-book name, try to make sense out of numbers, dashes, colons, etc,.

PART "A" - The patterns for "A" are regular expressions as shown in the code block below, basically they all look for a chacter which is not a number (0-9) or letter (a-zA-Z), followed by a fixed string, followed zero or more white space, followed by a number (0-9). A period might or might not be after the abbreviated book name. Of course, the pattern list can be ammended as necessary.

Examples in "A" which do or don't match:

"Revelation 5" - MATCH
"Revela 5" - NO MATCH
"Rev. 5" - MATCH
"4Rev. 5" - NO MATCH
"Qrevelation 5" - NO MATCH
";Rev. 5" - MATCH
"ii thes 3" - MATCH
"ii. thes 3" - NO MATCH

PART "B" tries to parse the stuff following the book name into the form of four integers. If a span is not being referenced, the ending chapter and ending verse are set to zero.

I could post the actual source code, but I don't think it would do you much good. Rather, demonstrating by example, here's the results followed by the original string in single quotes. Notice a single 'string' might produce multiple 'hits'. The Ruth reference is a good example of this, as well as, how what follows the semicolon is assumed to be a chapter reference, and what follows a colon is assumed to be verse reference.

Hiya John!

I tinker with computers from time to time, but that really wasn't what this post was about. Throm had already written the scripts, I just realized that I was keying a lot of stuff that, if I would just key it in a way that was compatible with his scripts, would save me work in the long run.

I hope all is well with you, your wife, and your daughter. We really missed you those last few days of GCS.
