Delimiters Tab

Select the Delimiters tab in the Text Mining dialog box to access options to bracket the portion of the text in each document that you want to index.

This is useful when you are processing structured narratives, e.g., standard accident reports, where the narrative of what happened is always contained between the headers "Description of accident/incident" and "Number of persons injured"; in this case, you could specify the former as the Starting phrase and the latter as the Ending phrase, and only parse (process and index) the text that is found between those headers in each accident report.

Use the options on the Defaults tab to save or retrieve the settings for these options and to set the defaults for future analyses.

Index words only between starting and ending phrases: Select this check box to activate the conditional processing of specific portions of the text in each document. After selecting this check box, the Starting phrase and Ending phrase options are enabled.
