"[SOLVED] Processs documents from files"

Hello Everyone.

I am trying to process several documents with the "Process Documents from files" operator.   In the first case all files where on the same directory and everything went perfect.  In the second case files are inside sub-folders so I didn´t get any results.

After investigating I am trying with the "Loop file"  Operator.   In the sub-process of the loop operator I have 2 more operators.

1. Provide Macro as log value
2. Process documents from files

I don´t get any errors but I don´t get any output either.   If I place a breakpoint after "Process documents from file" , I can see that it process the first directory correctly but still can get the output.

Here is an example:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

    Hi,

    Please check the process attached. I changed
    operator to "Process Documents from Data". For text
    analysis you should activate some tokenizing inside.
    Happy mining,

    Thanks for your reply.  Today  I am away from the office, but trust me, it will be the first thing to try as soon as I get back.
  • ojuarezojuarez Member Posts: 5 Contributor II
    I tested your process and it worked.  What I was trying to achieve was somehow different, but with your example I figured where my problem was.

    I was missing the Append operator in the process top level, after the loop files operator.  Once I added it everything worked as expected.

    I am really grateful for your help, it was driving me crazy!
