MorphAdorner provides two utilities for sampling lines from text files: ExactlySampleTextFile and RandomlySampleTextFile

ExactlySampleTextFile usage:

exactlysampletextfile input.txt output.txt samplecount


where

• input.txt -- input text file to be sampled.
• output.txt -- output text file.
• samplecount -- Size of exact random sample to extract. Must be positive integer.

The output file is a text file containing the sampled text lines from the input file. Both the input and the output must be utf-8 encoded.

RandomlySampleTextFile usage:

randomlysampletextfile input.txt output.txt samplingpercent


where

• input.txt -- input text file to be sampled.
• output.txt -- output text file.
• samplingpercent -- sampling percent from 0 through 100.

The output file is a text file containing the sampled text lines from the input file. Both the input and the output must be utf-8 encoded.
