Acronyms in Force Pick Up

[StuartPalmer2]

Sometimes text will contain important acronyms, for example 'eu' for European Union. This sometimes gets parsed as different parts of English speech, and many appear twice in visualisations.

Is there an easy way for 'eu' to be included in the Force Pick Up list, so that all occurrences are consolidated into one tag, without having to list every possible use of the fragment 'eu' first? For example, is the only way to do this with a Force Pick Up list like:

reuse
entrepreneur
tampereuni
europe
...
eu

Hi,

"Force Pick Up" will not work well in this case. Instead, please try "edit words" plugin here:
z1_edit_words3.zip

0. Shutdown KH Coder
1. Copy "z1_edit_words3.pm" to "plugin_en" folder
2. Edit the copied "z1_edit_words3.pm" with your favorite text editor
3. Start KH Coder, open your project. Run pre-processing if you have not run it yet.
4. Click "Tools", "Plugin", "Edit Words"

Please note that each time you run pre-processing, you must also invoke the plug-in (Step 4).

You have to edit this part of the plugin in step 2:

my $config = {
	'half' => 
		[
			'half',
		],
	'parents' => 
		[
			'mother',
			'father',
		],
};

With this default settings, all "half" will be united to one "half". Also, "mother" and "father" will be united to "parents".

before:

after:

In your case, the below setting will work, I think:

my $config = {
	'EU' => 
		[
			'EU',
		],
};

If you want to change the setting after invoking the plugin, please edit and save the plugin file, restart KH Coder, run pre-processing again, and invoke the plugin again.

Thanks - I will give that a try.

Let me know if you get errors or troubles with the plugin.

Worked fine, thanks very much.
