CLAN: Text Extraction

[Xiaowei Zhao]

Hello,

First of all, Sorry to pick up this conversation for so long ago!

I am also trying to use the "flo" command to extract "clean" text from .cha
files, and it works very well except one small thing -- it seems to
automatically add line wraps to break long lines exceeding a certain length
to several lines.

For example, for a file (060002c.cha) in the MacWhinney database, I run
flo +cr +t* 060002c.cha

and for a long line in the original .cha file
"
*MAR: no (.) it's not Mr Munsters (.) it's only the Munsters (.) what if
the monsters won't be on anymore and xxx will be with other movie (.) what
if it's at with the other program .
"

I got three lines
"
no it's not Mr Munsters it's only the Munsters what if the monsters won't
be on anymore and will be with other movie what if it's at with the other
program.
"
I am just wondering if there is any command/option/switch within Clan to
avoid this and still keep them on the same line? I tried  "LONGTIER", but
it did not work.

Many thanks!

Sincerely,
Xiaowei
