[sword-devel] <compressed> Sword Modules -> RISC OS

[Troy A. Griffitts]

accessing a module is fairly straight forward.  something like this
should work:

SWMgr mgr;
SWModule *module = mgr.Modules["KJV"];

for ((*module) = TOP; !module->Error(); (*module)++) {
	// do something like:
	cout << (const char *)(*module);
}


Hope this helps


There is also a utility in the utilities directory called mod2vpl that
will output a 'verse per line' text file from a module.

	In Christ's blessings,
		-Troy.
