Print out ALL footnotes with references for NT?

Question

I want to printout all the footnotes for all the NT along with the references. Some of our footnotes are over 20 years old and I want to cross check how we handled certain topics (key words as well as grammar) across the entire NT. How do I get a printout of this?

Answer 1

If you use RegexPal, you can put this regex into the Find box.
(?<=({[^}]+?}|\\f\s\S+\s*\\fr\s[^\s\+]+\s*(?=\\)))([^\\]|\\(?!f\s))*?(?=({[^}]+?}|\\f\*))
(Kent Spielmann created this regex.)
Use Tools, Choose Books to select only the NT.
Then Tools, Count/Extract, Extract, check “Include references.”
You can copy and paste this result into a Word doc.

This is a little of the result from Numbers footnotes:

NUM 24:22:	 \ft Или: «Сколько ещё Ассирии уводить вас в плен?»
NUM 24:24:	 \ft Букв.: «Из Киттима».
NUM 26:59:	 \ft Или: «Иохеведа, дочь Леви, которая родилась у Леви».
NUM 26:61:	 \ft См. \+xt Лев. 10:1-2\+xt*.
NUM 27:14:	 \ft См. \+xt 20:1-13\+xt*.
NUM 27:21:	 \ft Букв.: «урим („свет“)». С помощью этого предмета определяли волю Всевышнего, но как именно, сегодня не известно.
NUM 28:5:	 \ft Букв.: «одна десятая ефы».

I believe that this forum stripped out a number of important backslash markers in @anon781854’s reply. My regex isn’t good enough to fill them in quickly, and I don’t have the time to experiment at the moment. In particularly I think all \\f markers need double-backslash.

In general on this forum, you can create “code” markup that quotes text exactly as written by starting and ending that text with a ` mark (the letter under the tilde on an American keyboard).

Finally, I suspect that Kent’s regex finds the same footnotes as mine does, it just gives the footnote alone and strips out the \f and \f* markers. Is that correct?

It seems like Project Menu → Tools → Checklists → Footnotes might be what you’re looking for.

If that doesn’t work, then maybe do a search for regex:\\f .*?\\f\*, probably with “Show verse content” un-checked. Then print the list or save it and then edit the styling in Word or some other program.
