This was done using Data Services 4.0 SP1

Text data processing takes unstructured data and formats it into a table (as an example) to ease reporting.  This example takes e-mails and formats them into a table.

First create a batch job and a data flow. 

Create a source from the flat files in the Local Object library

Then select the unstructured text type

Select the e-mails as a file input (this is the unstructured data)

Then from the transforms tab, select Entity_Extraction > Base_EntityExtraction

Then in the input schema pane we'll drag Data column into the Text column

In the options tab select ENGLISH as the language

In the output tab place checkboxes next the to the fields below

Then drag FileName from the Schema In to the Schema Out as shown below

Then add a table to the output table type (which you can use to report from)

After executing the batch job, you can view the results of the table

Now you can use this to report on unstructured data.
