[sword-devel] Feature Complete Perl Interface

[Joachim Ansorg]

Hi!

This is really cool!
I'll probably create a small script with it to eMail the daily watchwords to 
a friend of mine. I think it will be really simple!

A thing I'm thinking about is a possibility to set the language of the 
booknames (e.g. German).
The functions in Sword to do this are in SWMgr. Is it possible that you 
implement it? It would be cool because foreigners do not understand english 
booknames often.


Thank you for your work!
Joachim

> OK, now you can go through the Bible with the interface three ways:

> This prints out everything from I John 2:3 to the end of the Bible:

> use Sword;
> my $mod = new Sword::Module("KJV");
> my $vi = $mod->get_iterator("I John 2:3");
> do {
>     print $vi->get_key(), " : ", $vi->get_verse(), "\n";
> } while($vi->next());
> # $vi->prev() would go to the beginning of the Bible backwards
>
>
> 2. Browse by book, chapter and verse
>
> This prints out the first verse of every book in the Bible:
>
> use Sword;
> my $mod = new Sword::Module("KJV");
> my $vi = $mod->get_iterator();
> foreach my $book ($mod->get_books()) {
>     $vi->set_book($book);
>     $vi->set_chapter_num(1);
>     $vi->set_verse_num(1);
>     print $vi->get_key(), " : ", $vi->get_verse(), "\n";
>     # You can use get_book, get_chapter_num
> }
>
>
> 3. Search for verses
>
> And of course you can search!  This gets everything in the KJV with the
> word "sword" in it:
>
> use Sword;
> my $mod = new Sword::Module("KJV");
> foreach my $result ($mod->search("sword")) {
>     print "$result->[0] : $result->[1]\n";
> }
