Processing a single file

There are a few different ways you can process a single file with fave_recode.

Only input file and scheme provided

First, like the basic usage section did, you can provide it with just a single input file, and a recoding scheme.

This will happen:

fave_recode will save the recoded TextGrid to the same directory as the original TextGrid with _recoded added to the end of the filename.

If there is already a file in the output location:

If there is already a file in the output location, fave_recode will ask you whether or not you want to overwrite it.

Example

bash

ls data

KY25A_1.TextGrid  josef-fruehwald_speaker.TextGrid

bash

fave_recode -i data/KY25A_1.TextGrid -s cmu2labov
ls data

KY25A_1.TextGrid  KY25A_1_recoded.TextGrid  josef-fruehwald_speaker.TextGrid

Providing a recode stem

You can provide fave_recode with a different recode stem to append to the original filename with the -r flag.

This will happen:

fave_recode will save the recoded TextGrid to the same directory as the original TextGrid with the string you provided added to the end of the filename.

Example

bash

ls data

KY25A_1.TextGrid  josef-fruehwald_speaker.TextGrid

bash

fave_recode -i data/KY25A_1.TextGrid -s cmu2labov -r _labovcode
ls data

KY25A_1.TextGrid  KY25A_1_labovcode.TextGrid  josef-fruehwald_speaker.TextGrid

Providing an output filename

You can also provide fave_recode with an output filename with the -o flag.

This will happen:

fave_recode will save the recoded TextGrid to the output location.

If there is already a file in the output location:

If there is already a file in the output location, fave_recode will ask you whether or not you want to overwrite it.

If there the output directory doesn’t exist:

If the output directory doesn’t exist, fave_recode will ask you whether or not you want to create it.

Example

bash

ls data

KY25A_1.TextGrid  josef-fruehwald_speaker.TextGrid

bash

fave_recode -i data/KY25A_1.TextGrid -s cmu2labov -o data/recoded.TextGrid
ls data

KY25A_1.TextGrid  josef-fruehwald_speaker.TextGrid  recoded.TextGrid

Providing an output directory

You can also provide fave_recode with an output directory with -o.

This will happen:

fave_recode will save the recoded TextGrid to the output directory with the recode string appended to the end of the original filename.

If there is already a file in the output location:

If there is already a file in the output location, fave_recode will ask you whether or not you want to overwrite it.

If there the output directory doesn’t exist:

If the output directory doesn’t exist, fave_recode will ask you whether or not you want to create it.

Example

bash

fave_recode -i data/KY25A_1.TextGrid -s cmu2labov -o output
ls output

KY25A_1_recoded.TextGrid
