[CWB] Encoding error in Windows

[George Goce Mitrevski]

Andrew,
Thanks for the suggestion. It may be a good idea to include this info in the instruction page for cwb-encode. The corpus was encoded just fine. However, I'm still having hell of a problem getting cqp to accept Cyrillic character encoding even in utf8. Has anyone been successful in encoding and searching a cyrillic corpus in Windows? I didn't encounter any such problems on Unix. Below is my encoding script and the search error:
cwb-encode -d "C:\CWB\ANGELINA\data" -f "C:\CWB\ANGELINA\angelina.txt" -c utf8 -R "C:\CWB\registry\angelina" -xsB -S s:0 -S text:0+id+title+author+genre -S subject:0 -S publisher:0 -S dateOrigonal:0 -S dateDigital:0 -S identifier:0 -S citation:0 -S source:0 -S relation:0 -S hasPart:0 -S isPartOf:0

C:\Windows\system32>cqp
[no corpus]> ANGELINA;
ANGELINA> "што";
CL: Regex Compile Error: unrecognized character after (? or (?-
CQP Error:
        Illegal regular expression: ???

Regards,
George.

It means the encoding hasn't been set to utf8. This is 
possibly because you haven't specified the encoding using -c utf8 (cwb-encode defaults to Latin-1 if not told specifically what encoding 
to use) 
 
On the other hand, if you have specified that it is utf-8, then it may be a bug. If this is the case, 
could you specify precisely what command line you've been using? 
Thanks.
 
best
 
Andrew.
