JVo Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I am attempting to define a range in the Peshitta OT (PESHOT-T) to include only the 39 books of the Tanak and so exclude the apocrypha included in that text package (i.e., Letter of Jeremiah, Baruch, Judith, Susanna, Bel, 4Ezra, Wisdom, Sirach, and 1-4Maccabees). To do so, I've entered the following into the 'Definition' of the 'Define Range' dialogue box: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1Samuel, 2Samuel, 1Kings, 2Kings, 1Chronicles, 2Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi When I attempt to 'Verify' this, I am receive the following error 'There are characters which are unexpected or in the wrong position as shown in the selection.' Can someone please help me with the syntax needed here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Klein Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Why does this syntax not work with Luke, Acts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarcher Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Why does this syntax not work with Luke, Acts?? Can you provide more details? I have a defined range for 'Lukan Corpus' that is "Luke, Acts" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Klein Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I don't know how to upload a screenshot. But when I type Luke, Acts in Define Ranges I get the popup "There are characters which are unexpected or in the wrong position as shown in the selection."

Joel Brown Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 A good test is to try entering the same range into a Search tab - if there is an issue, it will highlight and show you the problem. You can then copy and paste the successful range back into the Define Ranges dialog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
