Morph Search

[UBC4ME]

Is there a way to do a morph search on a sequence of morph tags? For example I tried m/T-NSM V-PAP-NSM and the search did not return anything, though I know this construct exists in the text. I tried using AND, OR, surround the morph tags with " ". By the way, the example is not proximity but is in sequence. As always thank you all for your insight and assistance.

Unfortunately no. The boolean logic has no operator of 'sequence'.

So out of curiosity, how would one perform this type of search?

Thanks Costa. It would be a powerful tool to be able to do this level of search in the Greek text though.

I found one way but it is extremely not feasible to do it that way.

1. Opened the file in Notepad2
2. In the find tab I checked Regular Expression search
3. Then I searched for the following:

Code: Select all

<WTT-NSM> .....<WG\d\d\d\d><WTV-PAP-NSM>

where "." is any character and "\d" is any number.
4. Then you know what line this is on of the file

Like I said, this is not very helpful for everyday use, and I think it might be hard to implement.

(NB: this search finds a 5 letter word with a 4 digit Greek Strong and a morph V-PAP-NSM that is preceded by a word with morph T-NSM)

It's not very simple at the moment to add this.

Costas, I certainly understand the difficulty in adding this type of functionality. At the moment I can't think of another "free" Bible study program that has the ability to perform this level of search. I don't know how many users would actually use this, I do extensive work in the original languages and I would use it often, the way I do it now is very convoluted. Perhaps when you are not doing anything you could throw this together? Brother I am only kidding I am well aware of the burden you carry. But if you could keep this on your mind, perhaps sometime in the future, Lord willing, you could add this type of functionality to the morph search. Again, thank you for all have done and continue to do.

To be honest i already took a look, trying to work out the nearw operator to work for morph; yet it's not simple at all as it requires major updates. Maybe a directional 'AND' operator would do,

That is actually what i was thinking would work well in the first place.

Costas,

Has there been any progress on this?

[csterg]

No sorry.

[UBC4ME]

Not a problem just thought I would check. Thank you for all your hard work Costas

Thanks for your kind words and encourgament

Well, this specific search can be accomplished using regular expressions. Try searching for:

Code: Select all

(^|\s)ο\s+\S*ων

It isn't perfect, but gets the job done.

By the way, Costas, \b doesn't seem to work here, maybe because of the tags -- <wt> before and <W[GT] after each word. Is this supposed to be so?

[JG]

I think \b is only supported in ascii files for PCRE regex that theWord uses
