[sword-devel] Grep or Sed Command to Automate OSIS References?

[Maxwell Murunga]

Thank you Dominique; Thanks Cyrille; Thanks Greg.



# “Additional” steps to get the awk script

# working fine on macOS as it does on Linux

$ brew install gawk



# If Terminal Throws Error

$ brew unlink awk

$ brew link --overwrite gawk



# Confirm all went well!

$ gawk --version



# Now proceed as normal

# Make the executable

$ chmod +x Ref2Osis.sh



# Thereafter, run it

$ ./Ref2Osis.sh


Works Perfect.


Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting.
Amen, and Amen.



~~Shalom.
