Exclude a list of keyword #104

Open Lucasthenoob opened 4 years ago

Lucasthenoob commented 4 years ago

Hello everybody.

Thanks for all the work. I'm trying something for a videogame and I have a list of keyword who would sound negative ('killer' for example). Do you know how could I include this list so it excludes the word from the weight ?

Thanks a lot, Lucas

For adding custom value, you must locate the vader_lexicon.txt file in your system and you can add individual words and their scores manually.

The format and explanation is given here: Check https://github.com/cjhutto/vaderSentiment#resources-and-dataset-descriptions point no: 2 for detailed explanation.
