4.35 The Command sa-file (malaga)

Using the command sa-file, you can analyse files that contain sentence lists. In a sentence list, each sentence stands in a line on its own; empty lines are permitted. Here is an example, a sentence list named sentence-list:

     He sleeps.
     He slept.
     He has slept.
     He had slept.

To analyse this sentence list, enter:

     sa-file sentence-list result

This will produce a file result that contains the analysis results. If the second argument is missing, the result will be written to a file whose name ends in .out; for sentence-list, its name will be sentence-list.out.

     1: "He sleeps.": [functor: [syn: <S3>, sem: <"sleep">]]
     2: "He slept.": [functor: [syn: <S3>, sem: <"sleep">]]
     3: "He has slept.": [functor: [syn: <S3>, sem: <"have", "sleep">]]
     4: "He had slept.": [functor: [syn: <S3>, sem: <"have", "sleep">]]

The number at the line start represents the line number of the analysed original sentence. The output format can be changed by using the options result-format and unknown-format.

If a runtime error occurs during the analysis of a sentence, the line will be printed in the format given by the option error-format.

After the analysis, some statistics will be printed:
