Finding a word followed by a question mark

I want to find all the verses in Romans that contain "law" and a question mark. Is this the correct search argument?

 

 

law <FOLLOWED BY> .? <AND> [RANGE rom]

 

 

 

Thanks!

I think you just need law .? <AND> [RANGE rom] (2 hits in the KJV)

Thank you for the reply. Your argument does indeed work to find verses that have a "?" immediately after law. With the search argument I suggested in my original post, more results come back because the "?" can be anywhere after law. Those are the results I think I am getting, anyway. What I am after is any question Paul asks in Romans with "law" in it.

 

Thanks again for your tip, I did learn something from it.

Your original search will indeed find all Verses with law followed by a question mark. You can set the field to Sentence instead of Verse to be sure that the question mark is in the same sentence.

Helen,

 

Thank you for the confirmation. I was glad to get the extra tip about setting the field to Sentence, however when I did that I received an error that "Character searches are supported only while searching with the 'Verse' field."
