Not able to exclude postcodes

[Lindsay Coffin]

Hello,

We're trying to exclude certain utterances from a set of data using kwal with the -s switch and a postcode. The command line is as follows:

kwal +t*CHI +t%mor -s"*[+ EX]*" -s"0" +f +d @

Attached are the original file and the output file that results from this command. (I should note that I've also tried the same command without the wildcards on either side of the postcode.) The utterances marked with the [+ EX] postcode are included in the output. We aren't sure if there might something wrong with the file, or maybe my command line needs tweaking. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Lindsay,

Your data file doesn't pass check. One of the error messages indicates that postcodes are not allowed on dependent tiers. Normally CLAN is able to analyze data files that are not in fully legal CHAT format, but unfortunately in this one case [+ ex] postcode on %mor tier doesn't work. If you want to have KWAL to work correctly with postcodes you will have to move them to main speaker tiers. I am attaching modified version of you example data file here.

Leonid.

Hello Leonid,

I see now, that makes sense. We'll have to move those onto the main tier. Thank you for the quick response! Have a great day.

Lindsay
