Mining source code files

Hi there,
I'm new to the mining world and what I'm looking for is mining source code files, i.e files written in programming languages. I thought since source codes are textual data then I can find some text mining tool to mine them, and picked RapidMiner as it is one of the most famous text mining tools. Unfortunately, it couldn't read such files. Am I missing something here? do you have any advice on how to mine such files?
Many thanks

Hi @confusedMonMon,

if you have source codes files, saying .sql, .c, .py files, you would need to read document operator from text processing extension.

Hi,

you can search GitHub repos by language:

https://help.github.com/en/articles/searching-for-repositories#search-by-language

Whether you do it through web crawling or directly with the GitHub API, I leave it for you to find out

Thany you @yyhuang and @SGolbert. Now I'm able to read the source code files I have. I also finished the RapidMiner tutorials which mainly used structured text files and got my head around it. However, since the source code files are unstructured textual data and what I'm looking for is analyzing some programming language features usage based on mining the files. Is there any advice/recommendations on the components/operators I should use considering that (1) the data is unstructured text (source code) and (2) I'm not going to analyze any natural language phrases and will skip the comments parts of the source code files. Thank you

Hi confusedMonMon,

Can you tell us what problem you are trying to solve? The approach will vary depending on that.

I think that in general you can work with the text mining extension. The Text and Web Mining Course is a great introduction, but AFIK it hasn't been made open yet (@Knut-RM). Depending on the complexity of the problem, you can build a good model by counting word frequencies and using n-grams.

Regards,

Sebastian

Hi,

Just wanted to mention that the text and web mining course is now public as well:

https://academy.rapidminer.com/courses/text-and-web-mining-with-rapidminer

Hope this helps,
Ingo

Thanks @SGolbert. I'm currently working on the text processing extension. I want to (1) exclude some sentences and paragraphs that start and/or end with a certain character (e.g. /*, //, #,...) from processing. Also, I want to (2) look for a predefined list of words and/or phrases that have a specific pattern in the documents to be detected and compared to others. Any suggestions to start with?

You would have to work quite a bit in the subprocess of the Process Documents operator to get something useful.

Hi @SGolbert. I couldn't find the "Text mining" extension. Maybe you mean web mining? would it help since I already have the source code files locally? Thanks

hi @confusedMonMon I think @SGolbert meant to say the "Text Processing" extension. I make the same mistake all the time.
