Dear Wayne,
If you only want to change part of the \xsf fields then Ron Moe's CC table
will work.

Dear Wayne,
In Shoebox or Toolbox, Right click on the \xsf field and the field marker
properties box appears. Change the xsf to sf in the marker name and say OK.
Shoebox or Toolbox will ask if you want to change it everywhere and you say
yes. It will then change all the 18000 records so the \xsf becomes \sf.

I have been changing some of the standard format markers (SFMs) so that
they
fit better within the MDF standards used with Shoebox and Toolbox. The
current motivation is to get more of my sound files accessible from within
the great new interface program, Lexique Pro. I was able to make almost all
of the global conversions myself, but I now need to ask for help from those
on the list who can write context-sensitive CC tables. Let's say I have the
following Cheyenne Shoebox record:

\lx ma'heon
\lc ma'heo'o
\xsf god.wav
\ps noun
\ge god
\xv Ma'heo'o enesevatsestahe.
\xsf godtakespity.wav
\xv God takes pity (on people).
\sd sacred

Lexique Pro will place a clickable sound icon next to the example sentence
and that sentence can then be heard by users of LP. But since sound files
marked by \xsf will only be heard if they correspond to example sentences,
there must be another SFM (Lexique Pro likes \sf) so that the headword
(citation form) can be heard within LP. I can, of course, manually change
\xsf to \sf following the \lc field for a single (or just a handful) of
lexical records. But I have nearly 18,000 records and need to make the
change globally to save many hours of time.

Could one of you CC experts design a CC table which will change all \xsf
SFMs to \sf following a \lc field? All other \xsf markers should remain as
they are.

Thanks,
Wayne
