Dear colleagues, I have a series of newspaper articles in a text file, downloaded from a text file. They look as follows:
Document 1 of 100 \n \n \n Newspaper Name \n \n Day Date I have a series of grep scripts that can extract the date and convert it to a date object, but I can't figure out how to grep the newspaper name. There is no field ID attached to those lines. The best I can come up with would be to have the program grep the four lines following matching the pattern "Document [0-9]". There is an an argument to grep in unix that can do this ...grep -A4 'pattern' infile>outfile, but I don't know if there is an equivalent argument in R. Any thoughts. Yours, Simon Kiss ********************************* Simon J.
