<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>I am trying to figure out if there is a simple way to run and compile data from multiple freq commands. </div><div><br></div><div>Most of the transcripts I have contain only 2 speakers (a child and a parent). However, about 1/3 also have a toy (an iPad) that talks and that we transcribed. I am trying to count the types, tokens, and get TTR for different groups of words for these 3 speaker tiers individually. In addition, for those that heard the iPad, I need to produce type/token stats for a combination of the parent and iPad. By getting that data we will be able to look at all of the speech a child hears (whether from parent or iPad). These pieces of data are generated into excel files by the 4 commands below. They seem to be generating the data I need into excel files in (generally) the format I need.</div><div><br></div><div>Child:</div><div><div>Freq +d5 +d2 +t@ID=”*|Target_Child|*” +s@CutFileAllCodes.cut +fCHI_AllCodes *.cha</div><div>Parent:</div><div>Freq +d5 +d2 +t@ID=”*|Target_Adult|*” +s@CutFileAllCodes.cut +fPAR_AllCodes *.cha</div><div>iPad:</div><div>Freq +d5 +d2 +t@ID=”*|Toy|*” +s@CutFileAllCodes.cut +fIPA_AllCodes *.cha</div><div>Parent and iPad:</div><div>Freq +d5 +d2 +t@ID=”*|Target_Adult|*” +t@ID=”*|Toy|*” +o3 +s@CutFileAllCodes.cut +fPARIPA_AllCodes *.cha</div></div><div><br></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">However, I have three problems I am hoping to solve. I am repeating this set of 4 freq analyses for 7 groups of codes/words (which will replace the cut file referenced in +s). So I will have at least 28 commands and 28 excel files I will need to combine into a single database for analysis. I would love to automate this data generation and combination as much as possible.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">1) Every time I run these commands separately they work fine. If I try to run them as a batch by using the attached batch file (command "batch BatchCommands.cex") I get an output that says "Using search file: C:\talkbank\clan\work\CutFileAllCodes.cut" was found. CAN'T FIND ANY DATA TIERS IN ANY OF INPUT FILES PLEASE PROVIDE A SPECIFIC SPEAKER WITH +t OPTION" The batch commands results in a repeat of this same warning 4 times and produces nothing. The batch file is in the "work" directory as well as the "CutFileAllCodes.cut" file and all of the chat files. Not sure why it does not seem to be able to find these. It would be nice to set these up in a file and just run them all at once. Plus it will make the stats more easily reproducible and better documented.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">2) Ultimately I would like one database with a single line for each transcription and the counts/stats generated from each of my commands in rows going across. Is there a way to have CLAN automatically append data and match the data into a single row for each file as each additional command is run? </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">3) If there is nothing I can do for number 2, then it would be really nice if I could solve another problem. Since the iPad codes are only in about 1/3 of the files, when the excel sheet is produced for the iPad commands, it doesn't produce a row for every analyzed file. Therefore, the excel file is "shorter" than the rest and when I go to paste this data in with the other data, I have to match the iPad data for each participant with the data output from the rest of the files. If I could have CLAN output 0's/periods/blanks for the files that are analyzed I can write a <i>very simple</i> copy/paste macro to combine the excel files. Is there a way to tell CLAN to produce output for every analyzed file even if the tier is missing?</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for any help!</p><p class="MsoNormal">Brian</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p></div></div>
