[sword-devel] I hardly sticked with a simple programming thing :-~

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Victor,
	Added resultBuffer to SWBasicFilter for you.  This is the start of the 
buffer into which **buf is pointing.  From this, you can obtain long 
offset = *buf - resultBuffer;

Hope this helps.

Still not exactly sure what you are attempting, but have you looked at 
our Entry Attributes mechanism?  Might, or might not help you with your 
goal.  See sword/examples/cmdline/lookup for an example.  Try it on 
something like: KJV with strongs, TR, or Thayer modules.

	-Troy.
