The directions I wrote out for myself are dated 2012 and it appears that the commands and input/output screens in UCINet have changed. No surprise there. What I’d like to find out is what are the current commands that would do the same as the following:

?

1. I used to run the following? Network|regions|components|binary graphs? and this would give me an output called component_sets.
1. In 2012 I would be given a long text document that included a list of the node names in each component and an identifying column number
2. Now I get a list of components by size and a single list of node names with a column number.

?

2. To extract a specific component I used to run Data|filter/extract|subgraphs for each group? --and I’d be presented with an input screen that was actually labeled “Extract Subgraph Via Attribute Vector”
1. In 2012 I was able to input my data set, my “compsets” data set and specify the column I wanted to extract (the component I was interested in)

?

2. This is where I’m lost – I don’t see a command that would allow me to extract just one column from the “compsets” output so I could take a look at in in NetDraw.

??????????????? Guidance and suggestions would be appreciated. Clearly I’m missing something that is perfectly obvious to folks who have been persistent users of UCINet—possibly just a terminology change.

So, if your input network was campnet, one of the outputs from the components routine would be campnet-compsets. Then you can go to ‘data|filter/extract|subgraph based on attribute’. ?You fill it out like this:

Note that I specified column 2, because I want to extract the 2^nd component.

Btw, I wrote this up in a short tutorial. Go to the link below and choose the document called “Extract Subgraphs Corresponding to Components”.
