[CWB] CQP s-attributes constrains: select text_ids for searching

[Ramiro Santa Ana]

Thank you, Stephanie, this is what I was looking for. For the regex, I
guess I can do something like text_id = "(ID1|ID2|IDn)”

In the other hand, when you said “so this can be tedious (or not work at
all) if you have a very long list of text IDs”, which thing could not work?
If I have like, say, 100 docs, could this approach not work?
