I'm trying to extract word counts from a block of text. I have the Create Document Operator (where I have pasted my text) linked to the Extract Information Operator. I have the words I want tot extract (terrorist and civilian) entered into the attribute name blocks, what should I be putting in the query expression blocks? Thanks.

    Hi @sgtcrom7,

     

    Can this process meet your needs? 

     

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><process version="8.1.001">
    <context>
    <input/>

    Lionel, 

    Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure if this solves my problem or not. I just downloaded the free version of RapidMiner today, and I am only using the drag and drop functions. So I'm actually not sure where I would enter code like that. Sorry if I wasted your time. I really do appreciate you trying to help.

    I did eventually end up figuring out how to get word counts out of my documents however, so maybe as I keep playing with the software I can learn enough to ask better questions. What I need to do is actually very simple, I'm just trying to figure out how to make it less labor intensive. Again, thanks.

    @sgtcrom7,

     

    A / To use the code I provide, you have to follow these steps (this is the method to share a process between RapidMiner users) : 

    1.Activation of the XML panel :

    2. Copy and paste the XML code I provided in the XML panel

    Date_A_B_2.png

    3. Click on the "check button"

    Date_A_B_3.png

    4. Normally, the process appears in the process window....

     

    B/ To learn the basics of RapidMiner, I encourage you to start by following :

     - the tutorials (menu Help)

     - the training videos (menu Help

    I hope it helps,

     

    Regards,

    The code didn't run, but thanks for explaining that to me. I'm making progress!

    Hi @sgtcrom7,

     

    Glad you make progress....but....


    "The code didn't run...."

     

    Here some hypothesis : 

     - did you fully copy the code I provided and/or

     - did you clear the existing code before copying my code in the XML panel ? here the instructions :

    "never give up...." : 

     

    Don't hesitate to reply if it does'nt work.

     

    Regards,
