  43. Thanks.
    I have a txt dataset that seems to be seperated with tabs but actually nodes are seperated with space character. I brought it into an excel file and saved it as an csv file then I converted it to an arff file and now I'm openning it in weka but it gives an error to me and say "can not be recognized as an arff file".I don't know what the problem is!

    1. I am not able to determine the cause of the error without seeing your data. If you can send me your file at alex@ablebits.com., I will try to help.

      1. Thanks a lot. It worked out for me.

      2. Didnt work for me too, however found the right way. Select and highlight the space you want to get rid of. Copy this space and select the find and replace. Paste this space in find and replace with nothing. I guess it wasnt a space in the first place. Whatever it was you now find it by copying whatever it was. Hope it works for you.

        1. This worked for me.
          Thanks

        2. Thanks for the solution

        3. Thanks a lot Joel!!!

        4. Yay, great solution!

        5. Thanks that worked for me!

        6. Thanks so much for your help. A simple solution to a very frustrating problem.

        7. worked a treat! thanks

  44. Thank you, useful tips

  45. we can also use text to column function.

    You just insert two or three columns after that data and select the data and go to data (tools)and select text to column delimited and click on space option and other character if available in that data and after that click next button and now you will be able to remove extra spaces in that data.

    Thanks

  46. Very helpful. Many thanks

  47. Thanks! a lot remind me

  48. thanks loads!!

  49. Perfect its wonderful

    1. If you copy numbers from a web page, or Microsoft Outlook, you get leading Blank Spaces and then your numbers will Not sum. You have to remove the leading blank spaces for the numbers to sum as numbers should. Go to Data-> Text to Column->Fixed Width and verify that a line appears PRIOR to the copied number data. Then go to "NEXT" and make sure the tab that says, "General", is selected Then Click "FINISH", and all your Non-summing numbers will now sum properly.
