Switches in FLO (+u or >>, +c1) and making a list of speaker IDs

[Amanda Owen Van Horne]

Hi,
  I'm cleaning codes out of some CHAT files to prepare them for use in
another program - I really want one gigantic file full of adult input to
children.

For the most part I've been relying on the FLO command to create a new file
of just the adult input (flo @ -t*CHI -t% +d +r1 +f).

  I'd like to do a few things to improve workflow that have me stumped:

1) eliminate 'empty' utterances (*MOT: 0.).  FLO changes it to *MOT: .  <--
+c1 seems like it might do this in KWAL (9.17.3 in the manual) but +c
doesn't do the same thing with every command and doesn't seem available
with FLO. Do I need to do a first pass with KWAL and pipe the results into
FLO?  Or vice versa?

2) Make a list of all speaker identifiers across a series of corpus files
(*MOT:, *FAT:, *URS:, etc)

3) Merge all of the output into a single file.  FLO @ -t*CHI -t% +d
>>myanalyses  doesn't work nor does +u.  The first generates an empty file
called myanalyses plus lots of individual files while the second yields an
error message. Again should I be combinging FLO with something else to get
the output I want.

I've been experimenting with the BATES corpus for now but hope to use more
if I can sort out the above issues.

Thanks so much for any guidance you can provide.

Amanda
