Hello Community:
I want to create a new attribute by changing several attribute names within another attribute. Data set:
| StudentID |
Major1 |
| 1 |
Studio Arts |
| 2 |
Cinematic Arts |
| 3 |
Museum Studies |
| 4 |
Business |
| 5 |
Creative Writing |
| 6 |
Liberal Studies |
I want to create a new attribute Major2 with Studio Arts, Cinematic Arts, and Museum Studies listed as Arts. I want Business, Creative Writing, and Liberal Studies listed as Nonarts. I wrote six lines in Generate Attributes, but it only performs the last change.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><process version="8.0.001">

<input/>
<output/>
<macros/>
</context>
<operator activated="true" class="process" compatibility="8.0.001" expanded="true" name="Process">

</operator>
<operator activated="true" class="generate_attributes" compatibility="8.0.001" expanded="true" height="82" name="Generate Attributes" width="90" x="313" y="187">

<parameter key="Major2" value="replaceAll(Major1,"Business","Nonarts")"/>
<parameter key="Major2" value="replaceAll(Major1,"Creative Writing","Nonarts")"/>
<parameter key="Major2" value="replaceAll(Major1,"Liberal Studies","Nonarts")"/>
</list>
</operator>
<connect from_op="Retrieve GenerateAttributeDataset" from_port="output" to_op="Generate Attributes" to_port="example set input"/>
<connect from_op="Generate Attributes" from_port="example set output" to_port="result 1"/>
<portSpacing port="source_input 1" spacing="0"/>
<portSpacing port="sink_result 1" spacing="0"/>
<portSpacing port="sink_result 2" spacing="0"/>
</process>
</operator>
</process>
BUT, if I don't create a new attribute, and just re-code Major1, it works.

<parameter key="Major1" value="replaceAll(Major1,"Creative Writing","Nonarts")"/>

</list>
</operator>
<connect from_op="Retrieve GenerateAttributeDataset" from_port="output" to_op="Generate Attributes" to_port="example set input"/>
<connect from_op="Generate Attributes" from_port="example set output" to_port="result 1"/>
<portSpacing port="source_input 1" spacing="0"/>
<portSpacing port="sink_result 1" spacing="0"/>
<portSpacing port="sink_result 2" spacing="0"/>
</process>
</operator>
</process>
I'd like to create the new attribute and keep the old one, rather than over-write the old one. How can I do that?
Thanks!
