For those people who are asking me about how to search big texts – the Bible, Paradise Lost, etc – for specific gematria values, here’s how I do it. I’m totally not a techie so there are probably better ways but, thus far, this has worked well.
I use my Windows 11 laptop. If you have a different OS, I’m sure it’s not hard to change stuff around to make it work.
You will need to install the following two programs on your computer:
Once done, download this Python file for AQ searching. Note that you can change the mapping for different numerology systems using Notepad++ or Python IDLE.
Rename this file as AQ.py and put it in a folder on your computer.
In the same folder put the text you want to search, as a text file ie. – old-testament.txt or whatever.
Edit the AQ.py file such that you put the name of the text file you want to search in place of “words.txt”. Then save it.
Open AQ.py file with Python IDLE and then hit Run/ Run Module.
A new window will open and slowly output the file with number values of each line enclosed in square brackets. This may take a while if it’s a very long text like the Bible. Once complete, save that file.
Open the outputted file in Notepad++ and use CNTL F to search for [666] or whatever number value you want to check. Make sure that you set Search Mode as “Normal” for this.
Ensure that your cursor is at the top of the file and then hit Find All In Current Document and a list of them should open in the bottom of the screen.
Notes
- The main drama is usually getting your original text file into decent shape for the searching. Each line that you want a number value for should be on a separate line. You can use Notepad++ Search & Replace to get the text into shape, with Search Mode set to Regular expression. There are ways to remove word wrap if needed. There are ways to start a new line after each period. You can look this stuff up on GPT or Perplexity and copy paste the commands.
- You need to use Python IDLE for this work, rather than regular Python, which is bundled with the regular download. Not sure why but I couldn’t get it to work otherwise.
