Hi Ran,

	Happy holidays.

1). You need to breakup your data files into sets with $A and without $A file. To create the $A file set run command:

kwal +d +o@ +t% +s"$A" +f$A filenames

Then run any other command on the $A files created with above command: "*.$A.cex"


Next, to create the no $A file set run command:

kwal +d +o@ +t% -s"$A" +fno$A filenames

Now run any other command on the no $A files created with above command: "*.no$A.cex"


2). Lots of commands take +x option. The +x=0w counts utterances with 0 words, +x=1w counts utterances with just one word and +x>1w counts utterances with more than one word. For example, you can use these options with mlt +x>1w filenames command.



Leonid.

Is there a way to run VOCD/MLU on the A utterances and no-code utterances separately? Essentially I'm hoping to divide up the transcripts based on the code A.
