In part 1 I created a simple CLI (command line interface) Bible Search Engine. I then built a Thor version. It’s cool. It works. But I can’t lookup verses very easily. So, I want to remedy this situation. I just add a new Thor method to my bbl Thor task:
[code]
desc "ref [bookname,verseref]", "display a particular verse"
#method_options :sort => :boolean
def ref(bookname="genesis", verseref="001:001")
inside(Bbl.source_root) {
output = search_for_phrase
shell.say pretty(output, verseref, false)
}
end
[/code]
Now I get the following:
[code]
$ thor bbl:ref john 003:013
[/code]
john_1 003:013 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
So, with our Thor tool it turns out we can pull the long list of 3:16 verses very easily:
[code]$ thor bbl:ref . 003:016[/code]
chronicles_1 003:016 And the sons of Jehoiakim: Jeconiah his son, Zedekiah his son.

hebrews 003:016 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
Crazy. In the next installment I’ll figure out a way to filter by groups of books such as Torah, NT, OT, Pauline, etc.
An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment.
I think that you should publish more about this subject matter, it might not
be a taboo subject but typically folks don’t discuss such issues. To the next! Cheers!!
