I was trying to find the verse "and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. " in Luke 6:29 but spelled the word "cloak" instead of the KJV spelling "cloke" so it could not find it. Is there a method of searching for approximate spellings? maybe I should have used regex?

Nevermind I used regex cl*k* and found it among other verses.

In writing regular expressions, you may find it handy to use "cloak|cloke". The pipe functions as an OR operator to match the pattern on either side.

The search module uses Perl-compatible regular expressions (PCRE), which is a very rich powerful set of regex syntax. For quick help on the symbols and possibilities, look in the lower right corner of the Search panel. Click on the boldface red question mark, and then click on the "Regular Expressions" help window that appears near the bottom of the help contents. Hope this helps.

Thanks epement for the instructions. The Regex feature of BA is one of the main reasons I like it and recommend it to others. The only problem was not knowing that it was spelled "cloke" in the KJV because I remembered it as just the sound of the word "cloak" as it is spelled in modern English.
