Only search for a specific keyword from a text

tahsin

Hello,

I want to search for a specific keyword from a text and assign them by their type. I am using the Generate Attributes operator and writing a function to search for the keywords. I have this problem, I have words like, "liar", "lies", "lied" in the list. The function expression that I am using picks up words like "families", "familiar" as well. I only want words that has "lies", "liar", not "families" or "familiar". 

This was my approach ;

if(matches(Notes,".*lies.*"),"Lies",

if(matches(Notes,".*liar.*"),"Lies",

if(matches(Notes,".*lied.*"),"Lies",

if(matches(Notes,".*lying.*"),"Lying","None"))))

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hello @tahsin

You could use a MAP operator with regex configured in order to replace all the other text on your text attribute. You may want to create a copy of it first.
I'm pasting a process that could help you get there.
Since you are doing some text processing I would recommend going through the Text and Web Mining tutorials at the academy

Dont you want to use the contains function?

Best,

Martin

hi Martin, I used the contains function first but it does the same thing. Picks up everything. 

This is actually how I do it in python,
df['Type'] = np.where(df.Notes.str.contains(r'\b(lies|liar|lied)\b'), 'Lies',

             np.where(df.Notes.str.contains(r'\b(lying)\b'), 'Lying','None'))

Not sure how to do it in here.
