Actually, the DTM works now. This is amazing. Million thanks. Why wasn't it
working before?
See below:
> cname <- file.path("C:\\Users\\Desktop\\Text Mining\\Cases\\MyCorpus")
> docs <- Corpus(DirSource(cname))
> dtm <- DocumentTermMatrix(docs)
> dtm
<<DocumentTermMatrix (documents: 4, terms: 766)>>
Non-/sparse entries: 920/2144
Sparsity : 70%
Maximal term length: 29
Weighting : term frequency (tf)

Does
cname <- file.path("C:\\Users\\Desktop\\Text Mining\\Cases\\MyCorpus")
docs <- Corpus(DirSource(cname))
dtm <- DocumentTermMatrix(docs)
dtm
work?
If so, add start adding back your tm_map until you find the thing that
breaks it.
Best,
