Extract all Uppercase words from document into new attributes

Hyperrick

Hello RM forum,

I'd like to extract all matches from an example set to a new attribute or even to multiple new attributes.

Example text:

We love DOGS. But CATS are cooler than BROWN FOXES.

This is my RegEx which finds all occurences (operator "generate extract":



The Problem is, that it will only generate the first match as a new attribute:



I want to get a new attribute containing all matches like:

test
DOGS;CATS;BROWN;FOXES

Is there a way to do this in Rapidminer?

Kind regards,

@Hyperrick you could play with tokenization on the text minning extension

Its not the final result but it would give you an idea.

Hi Marco. Thank you for your approach. That is a good way, I'll try this one!

@Hyperrick
I would take a different approach to Marco, should achieve a similar result, but puts all the upper case words into a single attribute.  
Try this one out and see what you think.
