Hello everyone,
I'm doing some JGR (a gui frontend for R) development, specifically adding
functionality from tm. In order to enable users to select some text files from
a file dialog, and turn them into a corpus, I need to be able to generate a
corpus using a *SINGLE* text file as a single document, and to append a new
document to an existing corpora. I know if I could read files into single
character vectors I'd be in business, but I can't find how to do this either.
This seems like a no-brainer, so I'm at my wits' end.
Here's pseudo code of what I'd like to be able to do:
##########################################
> corp1doc <- Corpus(singleTextDocSource("path/to/doc")) #read in 1 text doc as
> a 1-document corpus
> corp1doc
A corpus with 1 text document
> corp1doc[[2]] <- AnotherSingleTextDoc("path/to/doc") #append a second
> document to the same corpus
> corp1doc
A corpus with 2 text documents
##########################################
I can almost do this with dirSource, by setting pattern='filename', but this
requires me to also to separate the path to the enclosing directory, which
shouldn't be necessary.
Thanks for taking a look!
