Using Regex in Pig in hadoop

Question

I have a CSV file containing user (tweetid, tweets, userid).

396124436476092416,\"Think about the life you livin but don\'t think so hard it hurts Life is truly          


        

Answer 1

Can't comment, but from looking at this and testing it out, it looks like your quotes in the regex are different from those in the csv.

" in the csv

” in the regex code.

To get the tweetid try this:

B = FOREACH A GENERATE FLATTEN(REGEX_EXTRACT(line,'.*(,")',1))  AS (tweetid:long);
