No. You do not need to use a clever pipe. You should just look at the log to find the revision number for your final version and the one before it, and then use those numbers when you show the difference between them.

You can use regular expressions with some of them. One example is the findall method. It will be explicitly mentioned in the documentation though. If you have loaded the stuff from the book, you can type:

1. For #6, should we come up with some clever pipe combination to automatically pull version numbers from the log, or should we just note in the answer that “Here I would put ‘version’”?

2. Can we use regular expressions in the basic NLTK commands? Especially for commands like concordance and count and so on. Later in the book it talks about importing regular expressions, so I assume not.

Good question. Don’t worry about avoiding compound words. In fact, it could be argued that they are one phonological word.

For the first problem, do you want us to avoid counting instances such as “trusts to\[trVsts][tu:]” in the tautsyllabic category?
