<div dir="ltr">Hi, <div><br></div><div>I'm try to combine all available English/non clinical CHILDES files based on the target child's age. I've organized my files (by hand) into folders binned by month based on the child's age reported in the header information and now I would like to strip CHILDES codes from the speaker tier and output all of those files into a temp file, then I will use this temp file to create a single file of only adult/only child speakers. The trouble I am running into is as the number of files I am working with gets larger, CLAN seems to skip files. When I run for 0-12 months I get the (expected) 192 files following FLO. When I run for 0-15 months I get 340 files in the TEMP folder, when I should be getting 372. This dropping of files continues and becomes more problematic as we move to broader and broader age ranges. It's hard to track down individual files that might be contributing because so many files are involved. Can anyone provide any guidance? </div><div><br></div><div>Amanda </div><div><br></div><div>working directory: CHILDES by Age Folder</div><div>output directory: TEMP</div><div><br></div><div>FLO *.cha -t% +d +r1 +re +ffin<br></div><div>
