Scripting and Multiple Input/Output [SOLVED]

tbagley85

Hi, guys,

New guy here. I'm writing a script in Groovy using the Execute Script operator and I'm having some issues with the inputs. I know that it is easy to retrieve the first input (operator.getInput(SomeClass.class)). But if I have multiple inputs, how would I access the second/third/nth?

And for outputs, is there an operator.setOutput or similar function? Because of course you can only return one value from a Java/Groovy function.

Thanks!

Hi,

access inputs via

ExampleSet myData = input[0];
ExampleSet alsoData = input[1];

to return multiple outputs, see my second answer below.

Hi, Marco,

Thanks so much for your help! The input works great but I'm having some trouble with the output. I am getting a warning

 WARNING: Unknown result: class com.rapidminer.operator.IOContainer:IOContainer(3 objects) 

The rest of the warning goes on to describe the example sets in the container, which are correct. However, none of the operators to which I connect the output ports are receiving any data. Thoughts?

Thanks again.

Hi,

sorry my bad. You can simply do the following:

import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.List;

// main code


// return multiple outputs via List
List<IOObject> returnList = new LinkedList<>();
returnList.add(input[0]);
returnList.add(exSet);
return returnList;

Regards,
Marco
