chstring not working

Tue Jun 25 15:01:46 UTC 2019

Jeanine,

	CHSTRING by default works on word bases. Your changes.cut file assumes that you will run CHSTRING in “string” mode with +w option. You can solve this problem in one of two ways. I am attaching your "changes-string.cut” and modified "changes-word.cut” files. Here are two commands that will work with those files. The first command is better.

chstring +cchanges-word.cut 221134AFKA.cha

chstring +w +cchanges-string.cut 221134AFKA.cha

Leonid.

The reason is that there is no grammar for Hindi under CLAN so we thought we could use chstring to insert the codes into the main tier. I have created a changes.cut file which is in the same directory as the files I want to use. I have also downloaded the latest version of CLAN. I have also got the unicode font installed. The file on which I have tried it contains "gaya", "gayi" and "karke" so the issue is not that the items are not in the text.
