[sword-devel] Help converting text to imp

[Peter von Kaehne]

You could do following:

1) create a sheet in your favourite spreadsheet.

2) add the output of diatheke with a KJV module into it, so that column 1 has teh references, column 2 the text. You do this by importing the diatheke output as CSV and choose your delimiting character carefully.

3) You drop the text column.

4) You add your text as a column

5) you run up and down the text to ensure that the text is correctly lined up.

6) You export as a CSV file, choosing a decent delimiter again - e.g. a colon.

7) You rename the csv file into a text file (this is optional)

Then you run a version of  the sed script Karl gave you.

All of the above could be done a lot faster and with less effort via a few lines of Perl, but I guess the recommendations above are at the level you are comfortable to work at.
