Description

Yesterday, I used imp2vs.exe to rebuild the (1904) Nestle module from an updated source text that I'd already converted to IMP format.

Everything worked as expected except for one thing.

Even though the IMP file contains text for Matthew 1:1, in the module this verse was empty, and the chapter began at verse 2.

I've not found anything that would help towards tracing the root cause of this apparent bug.

Nestle uses Versification NRSV.

My command line contained this:

..\utils\imp2vs ..\Import\nestle1904.raw.imp.txt -v NRSV -z -o ..\modules\texts\ztext\nestle 1>..\log\imp2vs.log 2>..\log\error.log

The main log file is attached.

error.log was empty.

User error.

Remove the BOM before you convert to IMP or at least before you attempt to run imp2vs.

$$$<BOM>Matthew 1:1 will not be recognized as Matt.1.1.

Chris,

Thanks for the explanation. The original file Nestle1904.txt did have a BOM.
I'd failed to spot that before conversion to tabless VPL, and thence to IMP format.

Just examined the IMP file but now with SC Unipad, which shows what was the BOM (prior to conversion) as U+FEFF.
However, Notepad++ didn't display this visibly, even with "Show all characters", so I'd just missed it.

Mea culpa. I'll rebuild the module.

David
