I have an example set  with  many attributes. I want ot replace these attributes with new names which would be there in an example set.
How can we do that it in rapidminer.


Example:
Old_Column_Name  New_Column_Name
a                                 apple
b                                 ball
c                                 cat

    Hey @ssawant ,

    You can try Rename by Example Values for such a task. I typically use Create Example Set (comma seperated text) to create a table with old and new names and then append to the data before using Rename by Example values operator.

    Thanks for your suggestion @hbajpai.
    But, as i am totally new  to this can you help me by creating a dummy process and post it.
