How can I Print Draft without verse numbers?

Question

Making small changes to the text printed by Print Draft is easy … but only if you or someone you know speaks regular expression talk. This does not affect the text of the project itself, just what gets printed.

Add the following line to PrintDraftChanges.txt in the project directory (create it, if it does not exist)

"\\v \S+\s*" > ""

This says “Look for a \v, a space, one or more things that are NOT spaces(the verse number including ranges and verse segments), zero or more spaces. Every time you find this, replace it with an empty string (effectively deleting it).”

Answer 1

To remove the verse numbers from an RTF file made with Save as RTF:
In Word or OpenOffice/LibreOffice, do a search replace for anything in the style “v - Verse Number” and replace with nothing. This will remove the verse numbers

Answer 2

BTW, me thinks anon451647’s last paragraph should say NOT spaces rather than
spaces as in:

This says “Look for a \v, a space, one or more things that are NOT
spaces(the verse number including ranges and verse segments), zero or
more spaces. Every time you find this, replace it with an empty string
(effectively deleting it).”

If you’re going to be Shakespearian, “methinks” is written as one word (oops, the pedant in me is rising up – down boy!)

Answer 3

I tested anon451647’s syntax, it works. No verse numbers.
