CLA: Custom List Analyzer
CLA is a simple but powerful text analysis tool that allows users to create analyze texts using their own list dictionaries. List dictionaries can be of unlimited length and can consist of words, words with wildcards, and n-grams.
CLA takes plain text files as input (it will process all plain text files in a particular folder) and produces a comma separated values (.csv) spreadsheet that is easily read by any spreadsheet software.
