<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Hi,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I would recommend to use CHSTRING command. You can put all the &... filled pauses that need to be changed into a file and then run CHSTRING command on the data files to make the changes. This assumes that you have a limited and known list of all filled pauses that you want to change. Here is an example of CHSTRING changes file "chstring.cut":</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">"&um" "&-um"</div><div class="">"&eh" "&-eh"</div><div class="">"&ehm" "&-ehm"</div><div class="">"&uh" "&-uh"</div><div class=""> </div><div class="">
and the command line would be:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: "Lucida Grande";" class="">chstring +cchstring.cut *.cha</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: "Lucida Grande";" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: "Lucida Grande";" class="">You can run CHSTRING on a few files first to see if it does what you want correctly and then you can run it with +1 option to automatically replace all original files with new changed ones.</div><br class="">Leonid.

We have a number of transcripts where the filled pauses were marked with & only (e.g., &um instead of &-um). We want to use FLUCALC so these will be counted automatically. I thought a simple find and replace would be easy to do but the files already have MOR lines and there are plenty of & there. Also, there are some places where &=laughs is used. One last complication is that several different filled pauses are used (e.g., um, eh, uh, ehm, etc.). Is there a simple way of fixing this? Many thanks in advance for any ideas. <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Nicole</div></div><div class=""><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>
