Darryl Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 How would I find every verse which contained only five words? You can use a combination of the Within and Field commands to accomplish your request as well. Use the following search string with searching set to search by verses: * <WITHIN 5-5 Words> [FIELD End] <AND> <WITHIN 1 Words> [FIELD Begin] This effectively searches for a word within the boundary of a verse that is exactly five words from the end of the verse, and is also the first word: i.e., "lassoing" verses containing only five words. Hope that helps. Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Weaks Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Warning: You do need to be sure and search for the End field first. There is a bug that will find 4-word verses if you search for: * <WITHIN 1 Words> [FIELD Begin] <AND> <WITHIN 5-5 Words> [FIELD End] There must be instances, though not consistently, where a hidden character such as a paragraph Mark are being counted.
