Launch the Text Explorer platform by selecting Analyze > Text Explorer.
Parses text using a default set of built-in regular expressions. If you want to add to, remove, or edit the set of regular expressions used to parse the text, select the Customize Regex option. See Customize Regex: Regular Expression Editor.
Text is parsed into words based on a set of characters that typically separate words. These characters include spaces, tabs, new lines, and most punctuation marks. If you want numbers to be parsed into terms for the analysis, select the Treat Numbers as Words option. If you do not select this option, pieces of text between delimiters that contain only numbers are ignored in the tokenizing step.
Tip: You can view the default set of delimiters using the Display Options > Show Delimiters option in a Text Explorer report that uses the Basic Words Tokenizing method.
(Available only with the Regex Tokenizing method.) Enables you to use the Text Explorer Regular Expression Editor window to modify the Regex settings. Use this option to accommodate non-traditional words. Examples include phone numbers or words formed by a combination of characters and numbers. Using the Customize Regex option is not recommended unless the default Regex method is not giving you the results that you need. See Customize Regex: Regular Expression Editor.
After you click OK on the launch window, the Text Explorer Regular Expression Editor window appears if you selected Customize Regex in the launch window. Otherwise, the Text Explorer report appears.
