Find and replace question to fix filled pause marking

[Brian Macwhinney]

Dear Nicole,
    My approach to working with transcripts that have run through MOR is to rely on the fact that one can simply re-run MOR after making changes to the main line.  So, In your case, you would fix all of the main line pauses and then just re-run MOR. This works great for all of the languages that use MOR, except perhaps for Japanese which seems to require hand attention when running MOR.

We want to use FLUCALC so these will be counted automatically. I thought a simple find and replace would be easy to do but the files already have MOR lines and there are plenty of & there. Also, there are some places where &=laughs is used. One last complication is that several different filled pauses are used (e.g., um, eh, uh, ehm, etc.). Is there a simple way of fixing this? Many thanks in advance for any ideas.
