Some Helpful Tips

Download Single file from GitHub

If you want to get only raw files(text or code) then use curl command i.e.

curl -LJO https://github.com/mirfan899/Urdu/blob/master/ner/uner.txt

Concatenate files

cd data
cat */*.txt > file_name.txt

MK-PUCIT

Concatenate files of MK-PUCIT into single file using.

cat */*.txt > file_name.txt

Original dataset has a bug like Others and Other which are same entities, if you want to use the dataset from dropbox link, use following commands to clean it.

import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv('ner/mk-pucit.txt', sep='\t', names={"tag", "word"})
data.tag.replace({"Others":"Other"}, inplace=True)
# save according you need as csv or txt by changing the extension
data.to_csv("ner/mk-pucit.txt", index=False, header=False, sep='\t')

Now csv/txt file has format
