The %TMFILTER Macro

The %TMFILTER macro is a SAS macro that enables you to convert files into SAS data sets. You can use the macro to perform the following tasks:
  • Read documents contained in many different formats (such as PDF and Microsoft Word), convert the files to HTML, and create a corresponding SAS data set that can be used as input for the Text Miner node.
  • Retrieve Web pages starting from a specified URL and create a SAS data set that can be used as input for the Text Miner node.
  • With the language options, separate your collection by language.
Note: The %TMFILTER macro runs only on Windows operating environments.
See Using the %TMFILTER Macro in the Text Miner node documentation in SAS Text Miner for more information.
