Richard,
You can do all of that in c-i-said. Indeed you can do more. You can create
concordances based on the frequencies that words co-occur and you
can automatically score sections of text (you choose the unit) on the
basis of the presence of words and phrases. You can also create new texts
by searching and selecting the relevant documents. In the user guide their
is a section on the automatic coding of questionnaires which covers most of
these issues.

Alan
