chstring

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Anna and Diane,
  The CHSTRING +x switch was causing problems and so I asked Leonid to
change it so that you only need it when the magic character * is a literal
asterisk.  When you want it to be a wild card, you now do NOT need the +x
switch.  If you are using a current version of CLAN, that would explain why
this is confusing you.  In any case, just try running with an without the
+x. One of the two forms should work, depending on whether you have an older
version or a newer one.
  Also, you really need the asterisk in the +s switch, so things like
"@s " "@sv "  
will not work, since they would only match strings like @s which don¹t exist
by themselves.  You must have
"*@s " "*@sv "
as Diane noted.
