Output
The output from Entity Extractor is a list of the matching entities found in the input string. For example, if you selected an entity type as "Person," the output would contain a list of the person names found in the input string. Similarly, if you selected the Entity Type as "Date," the output will be a list of the dates found in the input string.
Each entity, whether a name, address, or date, is returned only once even if the entity appears multiple times in the input string.
To see the number of times the entity appeared in the input string you can select the Output entity count option in the Entity Extractor Options window.

contained five instances of the name John, the
name John will be included in the output just once,
with Name as the entity type, and "5" as the output
count. |
