Method Detail

fromString

@Deprecated
public static VerseRange fromString(String orginal)
                             throws NoSuchVerseException

Deprecated. use fromString(Versification, String) instead

Construct a VerseRange from a human readable string. For example "Gen 1:1-3" in case the user does not want to have their typing 'fixed' by a meddling patronizing computer.

Parameters:

orginal - The textual representation

Throws:

NoSuchVerseException - If the text can not be understood

fromString

public static VerseRange fromString(Versification v11n,
                                    String orginal)
                             throws NoSuchVerseException

Throws:

NoSuchVerseException

fromString

@Deprecated
public static VerseRange fromString(String original,
                                               VerseRange basis)
                             throws NoSuchVerseException

Deprecated. use fromString(Versification, String, VerseRange) instead

Construct a VerseRange from a String and a VerseRange. For example given "2:2" and a basis of Gen 1:1-2 the result would be range of 1 verse starting at Gen 2:2. Also given "2:2-5" and a basis of Gen 1:1-2 the result would be a range of 5 verses starting at Gen 1:1.

This constructor is different from the (String, Verse) constructor in that if the basis is a range that exactly covers a chapter and the string is a single number, then we assume that the number refers to a chapter and not to a verse. This allows us to have a Passage like "Gen 1,2" and have the 2 understood as chapter 2 and not verse 2 of Gen 1, which would have occurred otherwise.

Parameters:

original - The string describing the verse e.g "2:2"

basis - The verse that forms the basis by which to understand the original.

Throws:

NoSuchVerseException - If the reference is illegal

fromString

public static VerseRange fromString(Versification v11n,
                                    String original,
                                    VerseRange basis)
                             throws NoSuchVerseException

Throws:

NoSuchVerseException

fromText

private static VerseRange fromText(Versification v11n,
                                   String original,
                                   String startVerseDesc,
                                   String endVerseDesc,
                                   VerseRange basis)
                            throws NoSuchVerseException

Throws:

NoSuchVerseException
