<div dir="ltr"><div>Maxwell,</div><div><br></div><div>If you install the Python bindings to the Sword library, you can use the library's extensive parsing information as well as its knowledge of locales. A very simple Python script[0] will iterate all lines of input (you can give it a list of file arguments, you can pipe the output of a different program to it, you can write the lines in manually from stdin) and parse them. Doing exactly this work was impetus to get the bindings fixed up and compiling again some years back when converting references by external means was awfully slow for another member of this list. Using the bindings like this became nearly fool-proof and brought down the amount of time required to execute from unbearably long periods to under a second.</div><div><br></div><div>--Greg<br></div><div><br></div><div>[0] <a href="https://gist.github.com/greg-hellings/0de55fc3e07d5014f005efc12ffbdffa">https://gist.github.com/greg-hellings/0de55fc3e07d5014f005efc12ffbdffa</a></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Feb 4, 2020 at 11:28 AM Maxwell Murunga <<a href="mailto:maxmmur@gmail.com">maxmmur@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><font face="arial, sans-serif">Thank you </font></span>Dominique; <span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(37,37,37)">Thanks Cyrille; Thanks Greg.</span></p>

What are you doing exactly? If you try to convert the ref to osisRef
Dominique wrote an awk script which works pretty good.<br>
