"Text processing and Rapidminer 5.1"

Hello,

I updated my rapidminer and the text processing plugin to the new version and I cant use anymore the text process operators.

I'm trying to use "Process documents" on a file and "Process documents from files" on a folder and both are not working. I tried almost every configuration possible and I'm always getting an empty Word List and an empty Data Table.

Before the update, it was working very well.
Would you have any idea?


Regards,
Richard.

    Well, I just restarted Rapidminer and it's now working. I don't really understand how it is possible, but it seems its working well now.

    Hi,

    I got the same message but was able to solve it with the following steps. Please make sure that you first update RapidMiner to the latest version (5.1.001) and then restart if before proceeding with the update / installation of the Text Extension. That's it, by following these instructions I was able to update the Text Extension as well.

    This should do the trick. If this does not work, you could also remove the Text Extension completely and re-install it from the scratch. This can be done manually:
    • go into your "Documents and Settings" folder and into your user directory (on Windows) or your home directory (Unix)
    • go into the directory ".RapidMiner5" (note the dot at the beginning, the folder is possibly hidden)
    • go into the directory "managed"
    • remove the Jar files for the Text Extension
    • open the file "extensions.xml" with an editor and remove the <extension>...</extension> entry of the Text Extension
    You may want to make a backup first though. After that, re-install the Text Extension via the update mechanism.

    Cheers,
    Ingo

    You are welcome. I actually have no idea why this happens for some installation but glad that it is relatively easy to fix.

    Cheers,
    Ingo
