according to this source (http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/data) .data is a tab-delimited format. So you should have no trouble to read the file using the ReadCSV operator (see operators tab -> Import -> Data). I was on the other side not able to find a description of the .names-format.
But as soon as the data is in rapidminer, you can learn association rules (see operators tab -> Modelling -> Association and Item Set Mining).

Steffen is right, however, since the .data file could also be read by "Read CSV" but in this case you would loose the meta data information from the .names file. And of course he is also right about the association rules part.

I am afraid that I have to switch to RapidMiner 5.0 to get this done. I am still using RapidMiner 4.5
I want just to do some tasks in association rules for reasearch purposes and the test data that I have are in .data format. A repository of .aml or .arff files will be a good alternative.
Thanx again,
