Utterances with certain character strings

[Samantha Golden]

I am trying to use CLAN to pull any utterances that include certain character strings. When I try running my code, I keep receiving error messages, though.  How would I create a command that pulls any utterances, regardless of speaker, that contain any of the relevant strings (not necessarily morphemes) as well as the utterance just before the one with the string?

For example, I want to know any time anyone says something that includes "aburr," or "desanim," or "enfad" and the utterance that comes just before the one that includes any of those strings.  

Any help is appreciated thank you!!

Samantha,

Try commands:

kwal +s*aburr* -w1 filename.cha

kwal +s*desanim* -w1 filename.cha

kwal +s*enfad* -w1 filename.cha

If you want dependent tiers included in the output, then add +t% option

Leonid.
