extracting random sample of utterances

[Caroline Rowland]

Hi all,
Is it possible to get one of the CLAN programs to extract random samples of
utterances from a directory of transcripts?

What I want to do is to extract a random sample of 100 CHI utterances from some
transcripts, analyse these, then extract another random sample of 100 CHI
utterances (from the same transcripts) and analyse these etc.  Then do the same
for a random sample of 200 CHI utterances, 300 etc.  The rational behind this is
an investigation of the effect of sample size on analyses.

Thanks

Caro
