[sword-devel] Bug in diatheke search output

[Fred Gilham]

Hello,

The search output for diatheke seems to have a minor bug. Searching as follows

./diatheke -b KJV -s lucene -f plain -k possible

produces the following output.

Entries containing "possible"-- Romans 12:18Hebrews 10:4 ; Luke 18:27 ; Mark 9:23 ; Matthew 19:26 ; Mark 13:22 ; Mark 14:35 ; Acts 2:24 ; Matthew 24:24 ; Mark 10:27 ; Mark 14:36 ; Galatians 4:15 ; Acts 27:39 ; Acts 20:16 ; Matthew 26:39 ;  -- 15 matches total (KJV)


I did a patch:

--- corediatheke.cpp.orig       2026-03-18 20:01:01.033744516 -0700

                        for (listkey = TOP; !listkey.popError(); listkey++) {
                                if (!listkey.popError()) {
+                                       if (first) first = false;
+                                       else *output << " ; ";
                                        if (outputformat == FMT_CGI) *output << "<entry>";
                                        *output << listkey.getText();
                                        if (outputformat == FMT_CGI) *output << "</entry>";
                                }
-                               if (first) first = false;
-                               else *output << " ; ";
                        }
                        *output << " -- ";
 

After this the output is correct:

./diatheke -b KJV -s lucene -f plain -k possible
