Hi Raymond,
Can I suggest that it might be more help if we knew what the text file
said where these odd things occur? Otherwise unless one has a copy of
the original to hand, it's pure guesswork.
For example, the odd numbers inside brackets could possibly be a
reference to Footnotes or some such thing, but without seeing this in
context, it's very difficult to say.
George.

Hi List:
I trust all had a great thanksgiving with family and friends. Now, I
am pondering and trying to figure out what is going on with a few
files I have translated. I am translating the English Standard
Version (ESV) Bible for Lutheran Blind Mission in to Braille. In
fact, they want it in .brf files. So, I am taking a text .txt file
and translating. This in and of itself sounds quite easy and doable
right? Wrong! After going through and translating all 66 files, I am
looking over with a cursory check to see how they look and in some
places, I see dot 4 followed by the letter (o) at the end of some
lines and in other places I see numbers inside parenthesis which do
not seem to correlate with the verse numbers and in other places I see
dot 5 followed by the letter (i) at the beginning of a section and at
the end of a section. I am guessing these are quotation marks that
didn't translate correctly. So if anyone can shed some light on these
issues and what they are and why I would greatly appreciate it.
Secondly, is their a way to correct them quickly as in a global
change? Thanks!
