Search results

I'm just documenting this here so I can find it later. :) Today I used this search ( |^)τε .{0,15} και( |$) in the RegEx search tab in SwordSearcher 8.4 to find τε before and within 15 characters of και in the TR module.

I don't think I knew that was there! Thanks, Brandon!

Great! Just what I needed. I think I found a little display bug though, in using these. When I changed the # of characters to 25, I got 107 hits. The first 100 have the hits highlighted. But when I go forward to the next seven, they are not highlighted.

Thank you, Brandon. I can sort through them – I'd rather have all of them and have to sort through them than miss some. Thanks for your time!

(1) It seems that that RegEx search – [ ^]και .* δε[ $] –is not catching the ones where και is the first word in the verse, e.g., Joh 8:16 and 17 both have that construction, but are not found. Is that fixable? (2) Is there any way to shorten it down to say, the και before the δε, but the 2nd...

Thank you very much, Brandon! Way to go.

I hope I haven't asked this before :) In the TR module I want to search for the Greek words και and δε in that order, but not when they are contiguous (which they never are). I know I can search "for verses with ALL of the words specified", but that gives 1431 vv., and they are mostly false...

Tim, See https://valera1602.org. For a comparison of Valera versions, see http://valera1602.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Valeras-Compared.pdf. This also: http://valera1602.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Testing-the-1960.pdf

Marty, I think I asked for that once. It'd be a lot harder to do, since in the Bible each verse has x words, and apparently the system just remembers to highlight word #3 or from word #1 to word #5 in color "y". Of course I have no clue how hard it'd be to implement this, but I have often...

I use Macro Express (www.macros.com) in conjunction with SwordSearcher. Macro Express is very powerful and over my head in many ways, but when I need help with a macro, I try myself, and then if (when) I fail, I just ask the developer and he responds. Just yesterday I asked him how to do a macro...

I hadn't thought of that. Good idea.

That is the only way my Bible Panel looks - side-by-side comparing foreign and English. However, I do wish I could sometimes see 3 or 4 versions at once. But generally it's no biggie to just switch around to compare.

Thank you so much, Brandon. Works perfectly. I was trying to escape every character, like \+\s\h/ Obviously, my approach didn't work. I appreciate your help a lot! Eric

Well, I hope it's OK to ask for Regular Expression help again. I realize you're busy, Brandon, so feel free to take your time or not answer. Or maybe Bill or someone else would know and have time to answer. And it's not totally a SS question, since I plan to use the RE elsewhere, but am trying...

May we put as many hours into understanding the Word and applying it to ourselves as you have into making it so accessible! Good job, Brandon!

A review of several available timelines is here: https://www.preceden.com/timeline-makers It is produced by the maker(s) of the first one. There are some neat ideas there that, if you, Brandon, should decide to implement a timeline in SwordSearcher, would provide "fodder for thinking." Some of...

Dave, There also is the "Amazing Bible Timeline". I have not studied it in depth, but it is very, very interesting. It appears to rely on Ussher's chronology, where relevant. https://amazingbibletimeline.com/

Thanks, Bill, for the link to S. C. Adams' chart. I don't recall seeing that before.

Thank you, Brandon. I realize it would be a huge endeavor. But I also think lots of believers would benefit from it.
