When using Pericope::parse, if the second book in a pair begins with a digit, then that digit will be included in the 1st pericope, and the second book won't be recognized. An example will clarify:
blah Acts 20:21; Exodus 5:1-14 blah
is parsed correctly, but
blah Acts 20:21; 2 Kings 5:1-14 blah
is parsed as "Acts 20:21, 2". This one is recognizably an error because the verses shouldn't decrease, but something like "Exodus 1:10-2:1; 2 Kings 5:1-14" would be trickier.
I've never seen a BNF for Bible verses, I would think that ';' can be used to separate blocks of verses, but only if it's not being used to separate whole pericopes.

Hi @boblail, I'm using your code successfully with a Twitter bot @opentxtbook. However, I have noted that Pericope cannot parse a passage written like Psalm1 or Ps1. It is requiring it be written Psalm 1 or Ps 1to parse successful.

This can be a problem since some people may not put a space between book and chapter.

Your code is greatly appreciated. Many thanks

There seems to be a parsing problem with 1 Cor. In my fork, I have added some tests that demonstrate the issue. When text precedes an abbreviated reference to 1 Corinthians (i.e. 1 Cor.) the pericope isn't picked up.

see https://github.com/jaredjackson/pericope/blob/master/test/additional_pericope_test.rb

Should this be to_i instead of to_a for Verse?

I'd love for single chapter books to resolve just the same as a whole chapter reference. For example:

# nothing returned for this single chapter book
irb(main):020:0> Pericope.parse_one('Philemon')
=> nil
# full chapter verse range already handled for single chapter book WITHOUT chapter designation
irb(main):021:0> Pericope.parse_one('Philemon 1-25')
=> Pericope(Philemon 1–25)
irb(main):022:0> Pericope.parse_one('Ezekiel 1')
=> Pericope(Ezekiel 1)
# single chapter book could be similar to single chapter of multi chapter book
irb(main):023:0> Pericope.parse_one('Philemon 1-25').ranges
=> [57001001..57001025]
irb(main):024:0> Pericope.parse_one('Ezekiel 1').ranges
=> [26001001..26001028]

Right now we're handling this exception in a wrapper outside Pericope but would love if this was seen as a valid reference string. Thanks for the great library!

For example, I need to be able to parse the following string:

“A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man despises his mother.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭15:20‬ ‭ESV‬‬
http://bible.com/59/pro.15.20.esv

I need to discard the link (I can do that with regex), but then know that sentence (which could be multiple sentences, or a partial sentence) are the words, and then Proverbs 15:20 has a book, chapter, verse, and then a translation.

It looks like the text parse makes these each elements in an array. Unless I am reading the docs wrong....but was hoping something could tell me the reference and then the actual text. Thanks!

I am guessing that @range lets me extract chapter and verse?

@ranges=[35003019..35003019]

Is the last three digits always verse, the second three always chapter and the first two digits the book?
