Hi, I think perl is a better tool for this kind of processing, however some SAS users are working on very tight integration of perl and SAS so users have the best of both worlds. There may be some esoteric module 'SAS Enterprise Text Minor' that could help, I am not sure. Also check perl CPAN and R CRAN. I think there are perl modules that may be useful. |
