Copy Bible Verses - multiple non-continuous references

Logos 3.0 allowed the user to specify multiple non-continuous references by separating them with a semicolon or comma : for example <span style="font-family:Courier New;font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">Jn 3:1-20,24;Rom 3:21; Job:19:25-26 - i.e. in L3, all of these passages would copy as a single block – in L 4.0 you would have to copy & paste 4 times in this instance. I find this quite cumbersome. Does anyone know whether this can be done more simply in L4.

Thanks, Brian

Hi Roger

has this been added yet

Yes, this seems to work fine.

as you can see from the CBV window all the references are shown. In Word 2007, the results look like:

This is with the 4.5 Beta but from the reply above it should be in the current stable release as well.

What happens when you try this?

Curious about an example non-continuous bible references that is not working.

Apologies: copied <a target="_blank" data-version="ESV" data-reference="Jn 3.1-20" class="lbsBibleRef" href="http://biblia.com/bible/esv/Jn%203.1-20">Jn 3:1-20</a>,<a target="_blank" data-version="ESV" data-reference="Jn 3.24" class="lbsBibleRef" href="http://biblia.com/bible/esv/Jn%203.24">24</a>;<a target="_blank" data-version="ESV" data-reference="Rom 3.21" class="lbsBibleRef" href="http://biblia.com/bible/esv/Rom%203.21">Rom 3:21</a>; Job:19:25-26 (from original post in this thread) to Copy Bible Verses tool, then clicked "Copy" (to Word using Quotation style), switched to forum editor, then paste:

“Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things? Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.” (John 3:1–20, ESV)

“(for John had not yet been put in prison).” (John 3:24, ESV)

“But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—” (Romans 3:21, ESV)

“For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God,” (Job 19:25–26, ESV)

Hi Roger

Yes this does work but not if you cop the example from the original post - for some reason the format changes & semi-colons are replaced by commas.

You need to type the example in again exactly as displayed

i.e <a target="_blank" href="http://biblia.com/bible/esv/Jn%203.1-20" title="http://biblia.com/bible/esv/Jn%203.1-20" class="lbsBibleRef">Jn 3:1-20</a>,<a target="_blank" href="http://biblia.com/bible/esv/Jn%203.24" title="http://biblia.com/bible/esv/Jn%203.24" class="lbsBibleRef">24</a>; <a target="_blank" href="http://biblia.com/bible/esv/Rom%203.21" title="http://biblia.com/bible/esv/Rom%203.21" class="lbsBibleRef">Rom 3:21</a>; Job 19:25-26 (in fact, I tried copying what I have just typed in this reply and it does NOT work - the punctuation changes - you have to enter it for yourself.)

Once you have typed the verses in, press the right arrow in the box (or hit RETURN) and the verses should copy & paste.

Hope thiis works

Curious about Logos 4 version since copying original example (with comma and semi colon), then pasting into Logos 4.5 Beta 11 Copy Bible Verses tool does work.
