Hi there, I think something like the following is what you want: ### R start... # if you put your plain text files in a folder like this my.path <- 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\tony\\Desktop\\texts\\'
# then you can construct a simple tdm like this library(tm) my.corpus <- Corpus(DirSource(my.path), readerControl = list (reader=readPlain)) my.tdm <- TermDocMatrix(my.corpus) # this show show how words are distributed in the first text document my.tdm[1, ] ### R end. by the way, there are some nice examples of using the tm package in the last Rnews letter (Volume 8/2, October 2008), under the section 'An Introduction to Text Mining in R': http://cran.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/Rnews_2008-2.pdf Hope that helps a little bit, Tony Breyal On 9 Jan, 14:21, "Kum-Hoe Hwang" <phdhw...@gmail.com> wrote: > Howdy Gurus > > I 'd like to ask a question about how to build TermDocMatrix in tm text > mining package. > > It is not clear about importing a plain text file, and them converting that > text file into TermDocMatrix file, etc to me. > How can I build a TermDocMatrix of " a plain text document file for text > association? > Or are there any good manuals? > > Thank you in advance, > > -- > Kum-Hoe Hwang, Ph.D. > > Phone : 82-31-250-3516 > Email : phdhw...@gmail.com > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > r-h...@r-project.org mailing listhttps://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guidehttp://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
