Crash: Running Syntax Query in OpenText.org

This is the search I ran. I ran it on all passages in the NT last night and that is when I had the problems described above. I built it again this morning and ran it first on just the epistle I was studying. It ran fine. I expanded the search to the Pauline epistles with no problems. I then expanded to all passages and it ran fine.

I have to think that this is all tied to the B7 performance issues that have been discussed in several other threads.

Fred,  that's a very 'ugly' search with potential to cause a hernia on any computer

There's no boundary for the 'anything' so it could search the  whole database for a matching SC and the output reflects the distance between matcheseg.

Lk 6:42 (PC) - Act 13:15 (SC)

Act 1:16 (PC) - Act 13:15 (SC)

Act 2:29 (PC) - Act 13:15 (SC)

.....

There are only 4 SC in the database  (Act 13:15, 2 Cor 1:5, Phil 2:1, 1 Thess 2:3)  and 99 PC. I don't think you can derive anything meaningful from this query. What were you trying to achieve?

 

I was basing it on 2 Thess. 2:1-3. In the OpenText clause analysis it shows verse 1 as the PC with the addressee (brethren or brothers) and verse three as a SC with the subject exhortation. I was trying to find other clauses that had same addressee and the same subject.

What would you recommend to make it "more attractive".

We need to force a sequence of PC followed by related SC's, one of which is the exhortation clause. Hence the inserted SC which may occur 0 to 5 times.

The only result is 1 Thess 2:1-3 (I'm sure you didn't mean 2 Thess).

Got it. You taught me something again. Thanks Dave

Yes I did mean 1 Thessalonians. Initially I had inserted three SC's but and it only returned the passage in 1 Thessalonians. I thought I might be restricting my search too much by specifying that absolute number of SC's.

One more question. The SC clause that you inserted to repeat 0-5 times. Obviously I could set that to any range I wanted to. Would I have to restrict it to a secondary clause or would the search work if I just specified a "clause" without identifying a level?

Just try it...

I actually removed all of the clause level specifications and returned an additional verse in 2 Thessalonians as well. Thanks again for you help.
