[CWB] Exporting 'Function' results to file

[Hardie, Andrew]

Hi Lauren,

You can easily add > 'outputfile.txt'; to the end of a count command, if that’s what you are asking.

Like this:

count Q1 by word > 'out.txt';

directly parallel to,

cat Q1 > 'out.txt';

Basically, adding > … to a command that prints something to screen makes it save it to file instead. Standard unix-style.

best

Andrew.

Subject: [CWB] Exporting 'Function' results to file

Hi!

I have a question about exporting results to external files.

I have seen in the documentation that to export the KWIC results of a query, one can use the command <cat "query" > 'outputfile.txt';>.

Is it possible to export to a file the results of a "function" query?

For instance, I am interested in exporting to a file a list of words, and their respective frequency counts, from a query similiar to this one:

 <Q1 = [word = "[a-zA-Z0-9].*"]; count Q1 by word;>

The result of this function would be similiar to this one:

5000    the  [#10000-#99999]
4000    to  [#20000-#89999]
3000    was  [#30000-#79999]
2000    and  [#40000-#69999]
1000    of  [#50000-#59999]

However, I do not want the KWIC results of the variable Q1, rather, My question is how can I export the result of the function <count Q1 by word;> ?

Thank you in advance for any help!
Lauren
