Re-format a text file #515

Closed wilcar closed 3 years ago

wilcar commented 3 years ago

Hello, I have a corpus of 50 newspapers articles ordered by dates and saved in a single text file. I would like to be able to compare them by newspapers and dates. Is it possible to format my text file so that I can compare the different newspapers ? Thank you in advance.

If you convert the file to XML then you can use XPath selectors to split it into documents, which you can then compare with each other. See here for more info: https://voyant-tools.org/docs/#!/guide/corpuscreator-section-xml
