==================================================

Dependencies:

1. Perl required

Tested on v5.14.2

2.WordNet should be installed.

Please provide the path to the WordNet binary in the script:

./Scripts/getWordNetType.sh

Change line#2

/usa/sgupta/software/WordNet/bin/wn $1 | grep "Information available for \(noun\|verb\|adj\|adv\) $1" | cut -d " " -f4

TO

<pathToWordNetBinary> $1 | grep "Information available for \(noun\|verb\|adj\|adv\) $1" | cut -d " " -f4

==================================================

Usage:

======

Two main binaries:

./Scripts/mainParser.pl and ./Scripts/mainParserChunk.pl

1. Getting Part of Speech information

cd Scripts

./mainParser.pl <inputFile> <type>

Output is generated in ./Output/<inputFile>.pos

2. Getting Chunk Information

cd Scripts

./mainParser.pl <inputFile> <type>

Output is generated in ./Output/<inputFile>.chunk

Parameter Information:

=====================

inputFile: The input file to tagged (description below)

<type> : Specify the input is methods, attributes or class name

Can take 3 values: M (for method name)

C (for class name)

A (for attribute name)

Sample Usage:

============

cd Scripts;

./mainParser.pl ../Input/method100.input "M"

Output File Generated In: ./Output/method100.input.pos

=========================================================================

Format of input/output Files:

==============================

Sample Input Files can be found in ./Input

Example: (from ./Input/method100.input)

void resolveJumpJetAttack(QPhysicalResult;I) | resolve jump jet attack

So a line in Input file corresponds to the program identifier (here a method name) of format:

<methodSignature> | <splitted method name>

Please refer the ./Output directory for output format.
