Lorinda H. M. Hoover Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I'm using some of the search techniques I learned from watching the webinar on search commands, in part in order to answer David Lang's challenge in the Accordance blog. But I've run into a snag. Any time I try to do a search using (x, y), to specify two or more options for letter/character, I get an error message that a closed parenthesis is missing. Here are some of the searches I've tried: g?(o, e)t f?(e, o)?(=1)d These are copied straight from Dr. J's notes. I'm using Accordance 8.1.3 on a PPC Mac running 10.4.11. The other searches dr. J covers appears to function correctly for me. I've tried quitting and restarting Accordance, logging out and then back in again, and I'm pretty sure I've done a complete restart since this started happening. Any ideas?

Helen Brown Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Sorry we missed that error in DR. J's examples. As our Help files state: b?(eu)t finds only the words "bet" or "but. In other words you do not need to separate the alternate letters for a character wildcard with a comma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
