How to handle a variable URL?

Answered my own question...
After a bit of Googling and other research, I've figured it out :)
function the_bible_menu() {
$items = array();
$path = 'bible/book';
$items["$path/%/%/%/%/%"] = $items["$path/%/%/%/%"] = $items["$path/%/%/%"] = $items["$path/%/%"] = $items["$path/%"] = $items[$path] = array(
'title' => 'Bible',
'page callback' => 'the_bible_page',
'page arguments' => array(2, 3, 4, 5, 6),
'access arguments' => array('access content'),
'type' => MENU_CALLBACK
);
return $items;
}
function the_bible_page($book, $ch1, $vs1, $ch2, $vs2) {
$out = "book=$book; chapter1=$ch1; verse1=$vs1; chapter2=$ch2; verse2=$vs2";
return $out;
}
Problem:
I have links within my content with URLs such as:
/bible/book/john/3/16
/bible/book/genesis/1/2/3/4
etc
No actual nodes exist for any of these URLs, so what I need is a "catch all" mechanism that handles a path with the following regular expression:
/bible/book/(w+)/(d+)?/(d+)?/(d+)?/(d+)?
The process would then load the appropriate bible content based on the parameters in the URL.
Does any module exist that can do this, or what would I have to do to make it work?
Thanks,
Steve
