How to export concordance results with english glosses?

Hey guys.

The end product I am trying to achieve is to generate a list of all Greek verbs from a specific passage and have that exported into a more usable document like Excel - both the Greek words and their English gloss.

I can search specific verses with the concordance tool and generate a list there, but the export to Excel only captures the Greek word and it's frequency, not the English gloss. Alternatively, I can create a word list for a specific passage that can be exported with both Greek and English gloss, but that captures every word - I can't specify a part of speech. And as far as I can tell, there is no way to take a concordance list and translate that into a word list.

Anyone got any advice?

    Is this what you want? I did an inline morph search with 1 John as a passage list, to limit the range. Then I sent it to a word list (in the new dynamic toolbar) Then you can print and export that to a word or excel document for further editing.

    You could run a morph search - use @v - and then switch to Analysis view.

    Export the results to Excel and you should get a line for each verb - with the Greek term and the gloss in different columns. There will be a lot of other columns as well, but you could delete those.

    Does that help at all?

    I had never used export from the Concordance Tool - I typically use the method Graham posted. It is interesting as to why the export from the Concordance tool is limited to the two fields…. @Bradley Grainger (Logos) is there a reason that the English that is visible in the Concordance Tool results does not export?

    Ahh thanks @Graham Criddle, I hadn't considered using the morph search. And thanks @Donovan Palmer, exporting to a word list cuts down on the extra content when I export.

    This is a helpful work around for now, but I'd still be keen for some modification of the concordance tool or word list document.

    • Add the option to 'Save as Word List' the results of a concordance search.
    • The option to create and refine word lists according to parts of speech.

    I have struggled to make the Concordance tool work in my study flows and usually wind up setting up searches, which 95% are while I am in the text and therefore in-line. Maybe over Christmas I should pull out the Concordance tool and give it a bit of a whirl again.

    I think it's a helpful tool, but just needs a bit more functionality and integration with the rest of the logos application. The advantage of it over the search tool is its simplicity - it's a slimmed down version of the morph search for example without all the complexity of the search tool. Less overwhelming as well, which is probably why I have gravitated to it.
