Ivan thanks for spotting my fail! Since the OP is new to all this I'm going
to suggest a little tweak to this code which we can then build into a for
loop:
filepath <- getwd() #you will want to change this later. You are doing
something with tcl to pick a directory which seems rather fancy! But keep
doing it for now or set the directory here ending in a /
filename <- "Now they want us to charge our electric cars from litter
bins.docx"
full_filename <- paste0(filepath, filename)
#lets double check the file does exist!
if (!file.exists(full_filename)) {
message("File missing")
} else {
content <- read_docx(full_filename) |>
docx_summary()
# this reads docx for the full filename and
# passes it ( |> command) to the next line
# which summarises it.
# the result is saved in a data frame object
# called content which we shall show some
# heading into from
head(content)
}
Let's get this bit working before we try and loop
