[CWB] Problem with lemma

[Teresa Molés Cases]

Dear Andrew,

Thanks a lot for your answer and your help.

When I write [lemma = "gehen.”], it works. So the probem is the “\r”.

Best,

Teresa

One common cause, when there are N p-attributes and it is the N'th that always has zero-result searches, is that your original files had Windows-style linebreaks (\r\n) so that every value in the rightmost column has a trailing "\r" attached to it (because CWB doesn't remove \ "\r" when it is running on Unix) which will cause regular expressions never to match.
