Outputting KWAL search by keywords

[Leonid Spektor]

 Mits,

	Unfortunately, there is no way to do this in one pass. Kwal program is designed to output every matched tier only once, no matter how many keywords are found on this one tier. The only thing I can recommend is that you run separate kwal command for every keyword you are looking for and later merge all outputs into one file. For example, your command would look like this:

kwal +sgrapes +d4 +o%xpho *.cha +f +u
kwal +sspoon +d4 +o%xpho *.cha +f +u
kwal +splease +d4 +o%xpho *.cha +f +u
kwal +splate +d4 +o%xpho *.cha +f +u

You can also store all those commands into batch file, like the one I have created and I am attaching to this email. And run this batch file with this command:

batch batch.cut
