problem when using '|' to pipe command lines.

[Leonid Spektor]

Huang,

	Pipe combines all the data from all input files into one data stream and outputs that data stream as one file. The result is that information about which file each data came from is lost. We do not recommend using Pipe if you want to keep data from each individual file separately in corresponding output data files.

	I have fixed TEXTIN to create language tag "eng" instead of "en" and installed CLAN on childes. Now you do not need to use CHSTRING command. The new commands you need to use are:

textin *.txt
mor *.txtin.cha +1
post *.txtin.cha +1
ren *.txtin.cha *.cha

or you can put them into batch file and run that batch file with this command "bat batch.cut".


	If you want to use your older version of CLAN, then here is a simpler list of commands, then you used in your example below,:

textin *.txt
chstring +s"en" "eng" *.txtin.cha +w +t at ID +t at Languages -t*
mor *.txtin.chstr.cex
post *.txtin.chstr.mor.cex
ren *.txtin.chstr.mor.pst.cex *.cha
del *.txtin.cha
del *.cex

You can also put those commands into batch file and run them with command "bat batch-old.cut".

I am attaching both of those batch files here:
