[CWB] Finding bad non-category-handle values

[Hardie, Andrew]

Try a CQP query for

<whichever_att=".*[^a-zA-Z0-9_].*">[]

and then  tabulate match whichever_att ?

best

Subject: [CWB] Finding bad non-category-handle values

I'm attempting to import a corpus into CQPweb, and when I try to change one of the s-attributes from "free text" to "classification", I get the following error:

The datatype of text_source cannot be changed to [classification], because there are non-category-handle values in the CWB index.

I understand this to mean that in one or more values of text_source, there's a character that's not a-z or _. My question is simply how do I get a list of these values in order to figure out which one is causing the problem and then fix it?

Thanks in advance!
Scott
