The generating functional for Green functions of quark currents is given inclosed form to next-to-leading order in the low-energy expansion for chiralSU(3), including one-loop amplitudes with up to three meson propagators. Matrixelements and form factors for strong and nonleptonic weak processes with atmost six external states can be extracted from this functional by performingthree-dimensional flavour traces. To implement this procedure, a Mathematicaprogram is provided that evaluates amplitudes with at most six external mesons,photons (real or virtual) and virtual W (semileptonic form factors). Theprogram is illustrated with several examples that can be compared with existingcalculations.Comment: 26 pages; references added, comparison with other programs added, small changes in the text, version to appear in JHE
