To ghostmachine4, I have now tested your gawk code after downloading and installing gawk and the only output I get is a file named gawk which has no extension and a file size of zero. The results I previously attributed to you were actually the results of the batch coding supplied by !K. Sorry I led...

Once again I find that I must apologize to both !K and ghostmachine4. It was !K who supplied the batch coding and it is that coding upon which all my subsequent comments have been made. I did not even see the gawk coding supplied by ghostmachine4 until just a few minutes ago. I sincerely apologize t...

Could this be a memory problem? Should I break the file up into smaller chunks? I did not understand your reply to problem 2. ...

Thank you very much for this !k. Your code works well but there are two problems 1) it only did 4 out of 1189 chapters and 2) there are periodic sub-headings on their own lines within each chapter as well and your code places the 'book and chapter' in front of them too. Thank you again for your time...

I am unsure whether this is the correct forum, if it is not, I apologize in advance. I have a text file of the entire bible in which each verse is a separate paragraph which begins with the number of the verse and each chapter has a heading of the name of the book and the chapter number. ie.
