For example, if you command is </div><div><br></div><div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS'; ">maxwd barry.cha +g2 +t*CHI</div></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS'; "><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS'; ">The output will be:</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS'; "><br></div><div><div>From file <barry.cha></div><div>*** File "barry.cha": line 87: Number of chosen words 10. </div><div>*CHI:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>this the the car can go go on like this ?</div></div><div><br></div><div>Then you can click on the line with the three stars and it will open up the original and you can look at the lines before and after and cut and paste. Or you could add a code there and later use KWAL with the +w switch to extract the segments as you need.</div><div><br></div><div>We are not really sure exactly what you need in this case. One possible change to CLAN that Leonid could do would be to make it so that KWAL itself could directly process the lines with *** and then you could use the +w switch directly. </div><div><br></div><div>If we understood a bit more about what you are trying to achieve, that might help. </div><div><br></div><div>--Brian MacWhinney</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>On Feb 19, 2013, at 15:50, HJ Heather Kim wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><div>Hi,</div><div>I am doing an analysis on family mealtime conversations- </div><div>I have searched for 10 longest utterances produced by each child by using maxwd command.
