How to search for verses 8-9 in every book of the Bible ?

[tojensen]

Okay, strange search...   I remember a passage in verse 8-9 but cannot remember which book.   Is there a way to do this in Accordance.  Tom

Not that I know of. But if you can remember some of the passage try a FUZZY search or try w WITHIN 2 WORDS w2 or something like that and you might locate it.

 

If you knew the chapter you could get the list of book names and construct all the bk ch:vs refs pretty easily and put it in, but if the chapter is up for grabs too then it a lot more tricky.

 

Thx

The example:

Find verse 3:16 in every book

http://www.accordancebible.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13286

Text Module: KJV

Range: Gen-Rev

Option: Include Reference

Search: \b3:16\b

Result: Gen 3:16, Exod 3:16, ..., Rev 3:16.

 

Unfortunately Accordance lacks this feature.

I don’t have RegexForAccordance installed, so this is untested, but I think the following regex would work (with the other settings as in Fabian’s post):

Search: :[89]\b

 

 If that doesn’t work, try this more specific regex:

Search: \b\d+:[89]\b
