Hi guys

I have several Text files with difffrent number of words and i want to split it into Text Files with max 500 words?

How can i segment this Text Files in RapidMiner? I try it with the operator SplitSegmenter but i have no idea how i can set the regular expression.

Can anybode help me?

Hi,

I'm not really sure what you want...

BUT! You can always try this regex:

([^\s]+\s){500}

What it does is search for any number of non whitespace characters, followed by a whitespace character, this pattern repeated 500 times. It works on the site http://www.regexplanet.com/simple/index.html at least (credits to Sebastian for the URL  ) !

Thanks for your answer...

So i will clarify my problem a little bit...for example:
Text1.txt (Total: 110 words)
Text2.txt (Total: 410 words)
Text3.txt (Tota: 50 words)

I need Text Files in 50 words blocks...the result should be:
Text1.txt -> 3 Segments Files: Text1_Seg1.txt (50 words), Text1_Seg2.txt (50 words), Text1_Seg3.txt (10 words) = Total 110 words
......

can i do this with the operator SplitSegmenter or TextSegmenter (TextMining PlugIn)

Thanks for your answers

Hi,
did you try the regular expression above? I don't know why it shouldn't work...
