RM5 WebCrawler rules

Dear users & RM team:

I did not find enough documentation about this node.

"The Word Vector Tool and the RapidMiner Text Plugin" says:
If several expressions are given for the same condition, they are treated a disjunction.
This allows to express DNF expressions for each individual condition.
Conditions of different types are combined by conjunction, i.e. all of the have to be fulfilled.
It seems that in RM5 this does not work. See bellow a little project that shows this situation.

I had to use "|" pipe in the RegEx to specify a disyunction of patterns.

Question: How can I specify a Negative rule? (i.e. if this condition is true, do not follow this link...)

Thank you.
Best regards, Leonardo Der Jachadurian Gorojans




I tried to crawl a tiny website. I specified 2 conditions: ".*nomenclador.*" OR ".*pantallas.*". I changed the order of the rules, and RM5 just obey only the first rule and ignore the following rules for the same condition.

Please, see the code and change the order of the rules...
