[sword-devel] How do you select verses from a range?

[Jari Strand]

Troy,
alright, thank you, this should be clear now.

But you know the code I sent you, the "getVerse()" method crashes from time 
to time and I am having hard to figure out why. It crashes on the setKey() 
call when you pass in a certain string (reference) in the getverse. I am not 
sure which references crashes it or is it the order in which you pass them 
but for example you could getVerse"Genesis 1:1-3" but then calling 
getVerse("Matthew 1:3-15") crashes it.
I hope this is just some bug in elsewhere but I was thinking that perhaps 
the keys I used in the getVerse() method should be somehow released? Because 
tracing back in the setKey shows that deleting the previous key failes.

I hope that description makes sense.


Jari.
