Cut the document in equal pieces

Hello,

How can I cut the documents in equal parts (e.g. 10 parts) and save them as separate documents. I cannot use regex (an so the cut doc operator), since I have several documents of different format. I tried the window-operator, but I do not quiet understand how to use it. Thank you in advance for any help!

Hi ln777,

the window documents operator should do the job. You might need to extract the number of tokens for every document. For an example, please have a look at the attached process.

Best,

Martin

Thank you for the process. It works nicely!

I have also follow-up question to the process. If I put this process into the loop files, how can I write all parts as separate txt.documents to one directory?

MartinLiebig

Hi,

the trick is the Loop Collection operator to loop over seperate windows. A handy thing is to use the macro %{a} to store it with a the execution_count as a postfix.

Hi Martin,

I used loop collection and macro as you suggested, but still my process does not work. I cannot figure out why. Could you help?

Hi ln777,

i think the attached process should work.. Not tested it though.

As always, thank you for the quick help. Unfortunately the process does not work correctly. By "Extract macro" operator I get an error message "The attribute "token length" is missing in the input example set. Besides, by the "window document"-operator I get an error message "Supply value for step size". Do you have any ideas how to fix it?

MartinLiebig

Hi,

this sounds odd, because the attached process which is pretty similar except for the loop files works well. Are you sure that your loop has only parsable files in?

Hi Martin,

I still cannot fix the problem with cutting the documents. I tried to create a txt-file with a simple text ("My name is Mary") using the last process you posted here. I got the same error as I before. However, if I use the LoremIpsum.txt the process works fine. I cannot understand why. Maybe you have any solution?
