Would anyone like to create a program that converts a list of references from Logos into a list of a references for PT?

Question

Logos outputs lists like this: Ge 37:35; Nu 19:18; 1 Ki 2:9; 1 Sa 2:6; 1 Ki 13:31

Paratext's Biblical terms tool requires lists like this:  GEN 37:35; NUM 19:18; 1KI 2:9; 1SA 2:6; 1KI 13:31

For creating lots of Biblical terms in PT, it would hugely helpful to be able quickly to convert the former into the latter. Would any experts out there be willing to create a quick program to do this?

Answer 1

I see references in Logos with those two letter abbreviations  but  when I export a passage list from Logos I see it gives the whole book name not just the two letter abbreviations.

I have  started figuring out a Powershell script that can change book names to a three letter code. My sample file is in this document:

that looks wonderful. Could you show me how to use it?
