Outputting KWAL search by keywords

[Mits Ota]

Dear Leonid,

Thanks very much for the suggestion. I think this is indeed a solution
if the data are all like the hypothetical examples I used in my
description of the problem. However, I failed to mention in my
previous posting that in the corpora that I'm looking at (e.g.,
Providence), a large proportion of these multi-keyword cases actually
involve the same keyword repeated in the main tier, e.g.:

snake, snake	%CHI snake snake . %xpho kneɪk Sneɪk
sleepy, sleepy  %CHI sleepy sleepy . %xpho sLipi slipi

I don't think we can get KWAL to return separate outputs for these
hits even if we run the command separately for every keyword. Am I
right?

Mits

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
