Hi All,

Could somebody provide me information how to replace a fragment of TextObject? I can find TextCleaner but I do not know if there is one for replacing string?

Regards

    See http://rapid-i.com/rapidforum/index.php/topic,1226.0.html

    My brute force solution:
    * You need to use TextObject2ExampleSet to get ExampleSet. After that work on attribute, which contains text.
    * finaly you use ValueIterator and SingleTextObjectInput to get back a TextObject

    Hi,
    unfortunately not in RapidMiner 4.x. Originally the TextObject was only made for simpler API access on RapidMiner, so many functions where missing, which are just a line away in Java. With RapidMiner 5 and the upcoming TextProcessing Plugin there the TextObject, now named Document, is the central object during text processing and hence there is an operator for replacement.
