        Your clarification still leaves at least three possible
    interpretations of what you want. If my following interpretations
    are not correct, then please be very specific about exactly what you
    want.<br>
    <br>
    1). if you want only matched items listed instead of utterances
    where they were found then try either one of these command:<br>
    <br>
        freq +t%mor +s"*|give&PAST n|*" +f *.cha<br>
        freq +sm;give,&PAST^|n +f *.cha<br>
    <br>
    2). if you want cumulative count of all matches and not number of
    matches per file, then try either one of these command:<br>
    <br>
        combo +t%mor +s"*|give&PAST^n|*" +f +u *.cha<br>
        freq +t%mor +s"*|give&PAST n|*" +f +u *.cha<br>
        freq +sm;give,&PAST^|n +f +u *.cha<br>
    <br>
    3). if you simple want all output to go into just one file, then try
    this command:<br>
    <br>
        combo +t%mor +s"*|give&PAST^n|*" *.cha > outputfile.txt<br>
    <br>
        Or any combination of above examples without +f and with ">
    outputfile.cex"<br>

                  Are you saying that +f option does not create an
              output file on your computer? Or do you just dislike the
              format of the output file<br>
              <br>
              If it is the former, then let us know which computer (Mac
              or PC), which OS (Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows ???, OS X
              10.11.?) you are using and do you have the latest version
              of CLAN. <br>
              <br>
              If it is the latter, then let us know what format of
              output do you want to get.<br>
              <br>
              I have tested COMBO with +f option and it works correctly
              on Mac and PC, so I need more details from you to figure
              out what might be wrong.<br>
