Hi, 
 
I'm very new to python and am trying to figure out how to make a corpus from a 
text file. I have a csv file (actually pipe '|' delimited) where each row 
corresponds to a different text document. Each row contains a communication 
note. Other columns correspond to categories of types of communications. I am 
able to read the csv file and print the notes column as follows: 
 
import csv
with open('notes.txt', 'rb') as infile:
    reader = csv.reader(infile, delimiter = '|')
    i = 0
    for row in reader:
    if i <= 25: print row[8]
    i = i+1

I would like to convert this to a categorized corpus with some of the other 
columns corresponding to the categories. All of the columns are text (i.e., 
strings). I have looked for documentation on how to use csv.reader with 
PlaintextCorpusReader but have been unsuccessful in finding a  example similar 
to what I want to do. Can someone please help?  
 
Thanks, 
Bob
