Wordsmith中file-based concordancing

[xujiajin]

有对Wordsmith中file-based concordancing比较熟的吗？有的话，帮忙介绍一些经验，最好给一些sample吗？这样大家可以一起学习一下。

我理解的file-based concordancing就是，创建一个txt文件,每一段为一个需要检索的关键词，这样wordsmith通过调用这个文件，一次可以执行多个检索任务。

谢谢先！

The normal concordance function of WordSmith allows only 15 search phrases as long as they are limited to 80 characters, including the symbol / ('or'), The file-based search, i.e., saved as a text file allows up to 500 search patterns, one search string per line. You can download sample samples of file-based searches on the Resource page on my CBLS companion site.

Thank you for the info.

As a simple example, copy and paste the following into a txt file, one item per line, and save the file as e.g. notest.txt in your WS folder (e.g. c:\WSMITH).

on no account
in no case
in no case
in no circumstances
under no circumstances
under no condition
under no conditions
in no instance
in no instances
on no occasion
at no point
in no sense
at no stage
at no time
in no way

Now enter the following in the text box where you usually enter search words:

C:\WSMITH\ notest.txt

[not case sensitive]

and you will get all instances of those phrases from an untagged English corpus. Find it useful?

Very useful. I'd like to know more about this.
According to Jiajin, this will save me a lot of work.
