prefixing attribute names produced by WVT?
Contributor I
Hi,
as I work with a text collection containing many, many words it contains also words like "label" and "id" already used for attribute names in an example set. I am getting warnings like the one below from the TextInput and I wonder whether there is an easy way to prefix all attribute names originating from words (similar to a StringToWordVector option -P known from Weka).
Thank you very much!

Right now I don't believe it causes much trouble, but maybe I just missed some option in WVT TextInput to fix it.
[Warning] TextInput: The original example example set already contains an attribute named "label".
This is likely to cause trouble. Please rename the attribute in the original example set.
Thank you very much!

One way for prefixing is to add "TokenReplace" operator as a child of the "TextInput" and define replacement by regular expressions. For example, if your words will only consist of letters from a to z, you can define "([A-Za-z]+)" as a word pattern and "word_$1" as a replacement, where "word_" is the prefix.
I hope it helps a bit.
