# addscrubtier

## addscrubtier

This script automates the process of adding \*SCR tiers into clan files.

Github repo: [here](https://github.com/SeedlingsBabylab/addscrubtier)

It looks for "begin personal info" and "end personal info" comments and figures out the time interval based on those. It will add the \*SCR tier right after the "begin personal info" comment. Its timestamp will be the interval between personal info comments

For example:

```
*MAN:   &=w0 . 7109230_7111100
%xcom:  begin personal information: church
*SCR:   Scrub 7111100_7149210
%xdb:   average_dB="-24.41" peak_dB="-16.85"
*OLN:   0 . 7111100_7147680
%xdb:   average_dB="-22.16" peak_dB="-9.47"
@Eg:    Pause 268
@Bg:    Conversation 268
*MAN:   &=w10_86 . 7147680_7149210
%xcom:  end personal information
```

### usage

```
