Hi,
I have downloaded enwiki-latest-all-titles-in-ns0.gz and I want to
extract
main titles and store them in another file. For example, some titles have meta information (e.g. disambiguation etc.) and I want these to be
removed.
Can I remove all the text between parentheses from the titles to achieve this?
You have to parse it by hand.
Also some titles start with the "!" character. and some are enclosed
between
two or three of them such as !Adiso_Amigos!. What is the purpose of "!"
in
such cases?
It's part of the topic's name (in case of < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C2%A1Adios_Amigos!%3E, the band's name). The reverse exclamation mark is part of the Spanish language.
Also why some titles are enclosed between two double quotes such as "400_Years_of_Telescope"?
Same case: The " are part of the topic's name (e.g. < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Weird_Al%22_Yankovic%3E).
Marco
PS: Next time, please do correct copy&paste so people have a chance to see what you want. Both your supplied examples had to be corrected, the second one was missing a "the": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ "400_Years_of_the_Telescope"
