Searching the Gospels excluding the Red Letter passages

Post by epement »

Hello Tim or anyone who is a Bible Analyzer power user . . .

I'd like to search for the word "Lord" in the four Gospels, but exclude all the "red letter" passages which contain the words of Jesus. In other words, I'd like to find all the times the word Lord was used in the Gospels, where Jesus himself was not speaking.

I know that the Advanced Bible Search (function key F2) has a range filter control to search only the "Red Letter" passages. My query is to limit the range to the four Gospels, but to exclude the Red Letter passages from the search.

Any idea on how to do this?

Bible Analyzer is not coded to do these type of "except" searches. They can't be done with regular expressions either because the regex search is designed to ignore any tags, including red letter tags.

Searching a plain text with a text editor would be straightforward, though. Simply remove all the redletter text and then search.

Thanks, Tim. We're blessed to live in the computer generation at all.

I have more than enough tools to perform my studies.
