Categorize

Small Python script to categorize data using RegEx.

Install

Simply clone this repo:

git clone git@gitlab.com:databulle/categorize.git

Use

You'll need:

  • A file containing the rules you want to apply (see syntax below),
  • A file containing the items you want to categorize (one item per line).

It's quite simple:

python categorize.py -r example-rules.txt -i example-data.csv

Default outputs to a CSV file with semicolon separator: categorized.csv.

Command line arguments:

  • -h, --help shows help message and exits
  • -r RULES, --rules RULES indicates rules file (required)
  • -i INPUT, --input INPUT indicates input file (required)
  • -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT indicates output file (optional, default: categorized.csv)
  • -s SEP, --sep SEP indicates output file CSV separator (optional, default: ; )

Rules syntax

This script uses standard Python RegEx syntax, and associates each pattern with a category name.
Each line must start with the regular expression pattern, followed by a semicolumn, and end with the category name:

REGEX;CATEGORY_NAME

You'll find some examples in the example-rules.txt file.
