Regex to extract Twitter handles from post
Answers
-
I do all that within Text Processing as part of the tokenization, but if you want to extract to do it on a tweet level I would use one of the Replace type operators with a capturing group.

The search continues... trying this in a Generate Attibute operator. (?:\s|\A)[##]+([A-Za-z0-9-_]+) thinking that I would start with generating hashtags to a store for later analysis.
This checks out on http://www.regexplanet.com/ but when implemented as an expression, RM states a Token recognition error at ?
Any tips on making this seemingly simple approach work? Does RM impelment the Java Regex specification or something else?
Thanks

hi @esboyles - so a quick search here on the community for "regex not working" revealed a nice post by Ingo where he talks about the differences between javascript regex parser vs java regex parser: http://community.rapidminer.com/t5/RapidMiner-Studio-Forum/regex-not-working/m-p/35676
