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 proposed:Error in docx_summary() : argument "x" is missing, with no default
The whole code so far looks like this: # 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) # Calum's original suggestion full_filename <- paste(filepath, filename, sep="/") # Eric's proposed fix #lets double check the file does exist! # The rest here is Calum's suggestion 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) } Running this, results in the error cited above.
