Metatable

[A.K. Pertilla]

I have started exploring AntConc and found it very useful for exploring the data I'm working with (a corpus of several hundred text files). I was able to figure out how to create a metatable which has information about the individual text files (for example, the decade in which they were written, the gender of the authors, etc.). I am wondering if it's possible to use the metatable function in some way to create a "sub-corpus" by filtering on one of my metatable variables, which I can then use as a "target" corpus to compare with the larger "reference" corpus?
