TAPoR Text Analysis

Find Text — Co-occurrence

Summary

This tool looks for two words a certain distance apart from one another. By entering a primary and secondary pattern, TAPoR will search the document for occurrences of the two patterns found within the user-specified limits of words, sentences, or lines. If desired, the results can be narrowed to include words only found within certain tags.

Note: When "Paragraphs" is selected as context, the element name user entered will be overwritten by "p" tag. This may cause some confusion because some html texts do not use "p" tag to identify paragraphs. In this case, please use other options.

For more details, see here.
