Subject: [CWB] Problems exporting


Hi there,

I'm having problems using the 'Export corpus' functionality in cqpWeb.

When I try:

Corpus queries > Export corpus > Choose an export format: > Word-and-tag format (joined with forward-slash)

or

Corpus queries > Export corpus > Choose an export format: > Columnar with all tags (CWB input format)

Whether it is as a 'single text file' or as 'zip file with separate files for each corpus text' , I always get a pop-up window with the message 'CQPweb is processing your request. Please wait.'

This never goes away, though. Nothing seems to be exported. I don't know whether there is a connection, but in one of the attempts to export a corpus, the particular corpus I tried to export ceased to work and now I'm get this error message when I try to do a search:

```

CQP reports an error! The CQP program sent back these error messages:

**** CQP ERROR ****

CQP Error:

CQP Syntax Error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting ID

show +word + ; <--

Ignoring subsequent input until next ';'...

PARSE ERROR

```

This didn't happen before I try to export this corpus.

I also don't know whether this is related but, whatever of our corpora I'm using, I often get this error message:

ERROR: Redirect type unrecognised.

            Please reload CQPweb.

The problem gets solved by clicking on the link to reload CQPweb but it looks like this is a sign that something is wrong with our installation.

I'm aware that there are a few different issues here and I will appreciate any help you can provide to solve them. My most pressing issue, though, is that I need to urgently export one of our corpora. We are working on a project where we need to process the tagged corpus outside CQPweb. The problem is that we cannot find the files with the tagged texts that were the basis for the CQPWeb installation of the corpus.

I have browsed through the different folders connected to the CQPWeb installation in our server and I haven't been able to find any text files that would contain the word and the tag whether it is in the columnar 'CWB input format' or 'joined with forward-slash'.

So, any help with being able to export the corpus via the CQPWeb interface or with identifying the relevant text files in the folder structure associated with the CQPWeb installation (would these files, if they do exist, have a specific extension that would help identifying them?) would be especially appreciated.

Josep M.
