Does anyone have any experience with writing scripts for PRAAT (the software used for speech analysis and synthesis) ??

Please help me out !!

I have been assigned a task to write a scipt in a very short time and i
have no idea how to go about it.

I have to write a script which, given the waveform of a .wav file, allows
the user to select a part of the waveform and save it as a separate .wav
file. (This is just the basic thing which needs to be done)

Now i have a few questions,

1) can this be done using Praat?
2) If no, then what else can i use to create this application?
3) If yes, then where do i start from? I have zero experience with Praat
and i have just a few days to work on this. Is there any script that u
have used which does something similar to this?

I will start by reading the scripting manual in the Praat help sction but
i have no idea about how to go about writing this particular script.


please tell me how to proceed.... time is running out !

thanks in advance !
