CLAN and Excel

[Leonid Spektor]

Susanna,

    Try this command:

freq +d2 +t at ID="*target_child*" -t* +t%cod +s"%|S-%" +s"%|O-%"
+s"%|%-DA:T-%" +s"%|%-PRO:PP-%" +s"%|S-DA:T-%" +s"%|O-DA:T-%"
+s"%|S-PRO:PP-%" +s"%|O-PRO:PP-%"

Notice I have replaced all the '*' characters with '%' character. The above
example should be on one command line. If this is too much, then you can use
the file "codes.cut" that I am attaching to this email with this command:

freq +d2 +t at ID="*target_child*" -t* +t%cod +s at codes.cut

If this doesn't help you, then please send me a sample of your data file and
further description of what exactly didn't work for you.


    In my tests I did not see an extra column between Œsituation¹ and the
first word of the concordance. Perhaps the @ID header tiers in your data
files have an extra element at the end. You can see the correct output by
looking at "sample.cha" and running commands:

freq +d2 +s"pro:%|%" +s"pro|%" sample.cha +t at ID="*mother*" -t* +t%mor
statfreq stat.out.cex +f +d

on it. The "sample.cha" file located in clan/lib/sample/ folder.

Leonid.
