[COUNT ?]
The COUNT command searches only for the words that occur the specified number of times in the search range, as specified in the Range pop-up menu. Replace the selected question mark with the number or range of numbers of your choice. Use a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to search for all words occurring more or less than the number entered.
Examples:
- [COUNT 3] finds all the words that occur exactly three times in the current range.
- [COUNT 1-3] finds all the words that occur up to three times in the current range.
- [COUNT +3] or [COUNT 3+] finds all words that occur three or more times in the current range.
- [COUNT -3] or [COUNT 3-] finds all words that occur three or less times in the current range.
COUNT is similar to the HITS command in that it limits the search to a list of words. It can be combined with the @ symbol, connecting commands, and the internal modifiers =k, =i, and =t after the numerals.
[COUNT 1 =k] | uses the list of Key numbers that occur only once |
[COUNT 1 =i] | uses the list of inflected forms that occur only once |
[COUNT 1 =t] | uses the list of entire tags that occur only once |
Combined Examples: Entering lov*@[COUNT 1 =k] searches for words beginning with lov that are tagged with a Key number which occurs only once throughout the range.
However, when COUNT is combined with the RANGE command as in [RANGE Gen 1-3] <AND> [COUNT 1 =k] (when the Range pop-up is set to All Text) the search result is Key numbers in Gen 1-3 that occur only once in the entire text.
This command is also an item in the Construct tab. When used in a Construct tab, the Set word count dialog box opens for entry of the number and any modifier that applies.
