    public class JoinAttributes
extends weka.filters.SimpleBatchFilter
implements weka.filters.UnsupervisedFilter
    A simple filter that joins several attributes into a single STRING one, with a user defined string acting as 'glue'.

    Valid options are: 

     -D
  Turns on output of debugging information.
     -R <range>
  The range of the attributes to combine.
  (default: first-last).
     -glue <string>
  The 'glue' string to insert between the attribute values.
  (default: none).
