I'm having an issue with a Praat script. I would like to define the labels I want to define the label I want to look for with a regular expression like this:

if label$ = "[AEIOU].."

However, Praat chokes on this, it never applies the conditional to the appropriate regex (which I got from Praat's own help site). I have tried with single quotes, double quotes, and no quotes, all the same. It will do the conditional if I put a an actual vowel name in, like "EH1".

Is there some magic trick to get Praat to recognize its own documented regex, or is it broken? If it's broken, do I just have to put in every ARPABET vowel in a list?

  • I'm not familiar with Praat, but if a = b is hard to interpret in any other way than looking for equivalence between two scalars. I'm guessing you need something like if index_regex(label$, "[AEIOU]..") > 0 based on very quick googling.

  • Ah, I see. Thanks for the info. Rammed my head against this wall for a long time.
