Hi Matt,

Another way to do it would be to build links for each Bible refs.

and look for a Use case "Bible parsing - buil hyperlinks" ( bottom of page)

Of course, you don't have to do it my way, but the final result is quite nice actually;
the user knows what to select...

And as a side effect ...

I used the underscore so the I could easily get the Book and the Chapter using the MouseText. It was the colon then verse that threw me.

I wrote a completely text version Bible study using AutoHotkey where all the Bibles, Commentaries, Dictionaries, Reading Plans and Devotionals are kept in ...

Craig,

Thank you so much for this script. I figured LiveCode could do it. I will work on incorporating this.

Thanks again,

I have written a fairly decent Bible study application with LiveCode using SQL data sources and a heavily scripted single card stack.

When the mouse moves over a reference like Joh_3:16, the MouseText return Joh_3 or John chapter 3.

Is there a way to change word boundaries to use spaces or commas ...
