Dear Brian et al.<br><br>
I'm trying to replace all occurences of "@s" to
"@sv", but I can't make it work. We have used the sign @s
to indicate code switching from itaian to swedish in our transcriptions,
but now we would like to change it to @sv. There are several similar
changes that need to be made so I really would like to know what I'm
doing wrong. This is what it looks like:<br><br>
*ANN: c'è tanto di più di questa # närhet@s.<br><br>
I would like to change @s into @sv to make the utterance look
like:<br><br>
*ANN: c'è tanto di più di questa # närhet@sv.<br><br>
I have created a file named 'changes.cut' and it looks like:<br><br>
"@s " "@sv "<br><br>
with no spaces <b>before </b>the @-signs.<br><br>
and then i run the command:<br><br>
chstring +c "filename"<br><br>
but no changes are being made. If I instead create a 'changes.cut' file
that looks like:<br><br>
" tanto " " tantoo "<br><br>
and run the same command as above, the changes are being made.<br><br>
I thought chstring would work on parts of words like @s, and not only on
complete words. I've also tried "_*@s " "_*@sv ", but
it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong??<br><br>
Many thanks in advande<br><br>
