Class TextDirectoryLoader

    java.lang.Object
      weka.core.converters.AbstractLoader
          weka.core.converters.TextDirectoryLoader

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, BatchConverter, Loader, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler

    public class TextDirectoryLoader

extends AbstractLoader
implements BatchConverter, OptionHandler

Loads all text files in a directory and uses the subdirectory names as class labels. The content of the text files will be stored in a String attribute, the filename can be stored as well.

Valid options are:

     -D
      Enables debug output.
      (default: off)

     -F
      Stores the filename in an additional attribute.
      (default: off)

     -dir <directory>
      The directory to work on.
