Question to get the date out of a document

BadBoy20

So I have pdf files and each of these pdf files (articles) have a date at the top of the page. not at the very top. but around there. The date format is like 19 April 2012. I want to get the first date that shows up and set it as an attribute called "Mydate", is that even possible in rapidminer and how would I go about doing that? thank you.

Hi,

you probably need to use Read Document, Process Documents and Keep Document Part and a clever regex. It is hard to say which w/o the document itself.

Cheers,

This sounds pretty similar to this post from a few days back.  Could you rework the process in that?
