Thank, Chris but did not do as desired. Here is the output received(cutdown from my extended data test):
#Start##Start#start#Start# 3 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the #Start#EndOfGen#Start# #Start#Start#Start# 7 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and #Start#EndOfGen#Start# #Start#Start#Start# 11 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other #Start#EndOfGen#Start# Desired out: #Start# 1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the #EndOfGen# #Start# 2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and #EndOfGen# #Start# 3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other #EndOfGen# What each start and end is a chapter. In the data. You Have the start and then 1. What I want to do is replace the 1 with the current chapter number. First hit is Chapter 1. The fifth would be Chapter 5, etc. Thoughts???
