Hi folks
Thanks for your help and suggestions - very much appreciated.
I now have some working code, using this file I uploaded for public

Since you're using tcltk, you can get a file path in one step using
tk_choose.files(). (Use multi = FALSE to choose only one file.)

There's also file.path(),
Sorry, I was being too quick.
You have to pay attention to the pipe operator
You were advised to do the following
content <- read_docx(full_filename) |>
docx_summary()
which should have worked but I think you left out the |> operator.
Alternatively
tmp <- read_docx(full_filename)
content <
An update: Running this block of code:
# Load libraries
library(tcltk)
library(tidyverse)
library(officer)
filepath <- setwd(tk_choose.dir())
filename <- "Now they want us to charge our electric cars from litter
bins.docx"
#full_filename <- paste0(filepath, filename)
full_filename <- paste(fil
docx_summary(content)
You should read documentation e.g. ?docx_summary and check the examples

Hi Eric
Thanks for that. That seems to fix one problem (the lack of a
separator), but introduces a new one when I complete the function Calum

I continue to appreciate your support.
Calum, I entered the code snippet you provided, and it returns 'file
missing'. Looking at this, while the object 'full_filename' exists, what
is happening is that the path from getwd() is being appended to the

Thanks - I'll have a look at these options too.
I'm happy to send over a sample document, but wasn't aware if
attachments are allowed. The documents come Lexis+, so require user
credentials to log in, but I could upload the file somewhere if that
would help? Any ideas for a good location to do
I would also look at https://pandoc.org perhaps which can
export a number of formats...
And for spreadsheets https://github.com/jqnatividad/qsv is my
goto weapon. Can also read and write XLSX and others.
A sample document or two would always be helpful...

Hi Roy (& others)
Many thanks for the advice - well taken. Thanks also to the others who
have responded so quickly - I thought I might have to wait days!! :-)
I'm on a Linux (Mint) machine. Below, I document three attempts, two
using officer and the last now using textreadr
My attempts so far
It sounded like he looked at officeR but I would agree
content <- officer::docx_summary("filename.docx")
Would get the text content into an object called content.
That object is a data.frame so you can then manipulate it. To be more
specific, we might need an example of the DF
You can loop thi
textreadr would be the obvious approach.
When you say it is depreciated do you mean it's not available on cran?
Sometimes maintaining a package on cran in just a pain in the ass.
devtools::install_github("trinker/textreadr")
Should let you install it.
In theory docx files are actually just zip
checkout the 'officer' package
Thanks

Hi Andy:

Generally the more information you can provide, the more likely you will get

they didn’t do what you wanted. Providing that code,
