I apologize for not being clear. d is a character vector of length
158908. Each element in the vector has been designated by sentDetect
(package: openNLP) as a sentence. Some of these are really
sentences. Others are merely groups of meaningless characters
separated by white space. strapply is a function in the package
gosubfn. It applies to each element of the first argument the regular
expression (second argument). Every match is then sent to the
designated function (third argument, in my case missing, hence the
identity function). Thus, with strapply I am simply performing a
white-space tokenization of each sentence. I am doing this in the
hope of being able to distinguish true sentences from false ones on
the basis of mean length of token, maximum length of token, or similar.

I have a very large (158,908 possible sentences, ca. 58 MB) plain
text
document d which I am
trying to tokenize: t <- strapply(d, "\\w+", perl = T). I am
encountering the following error:
What is strapply() and what is d?

Error in base::gsub(pattern, rs, x, ...) :
Calloc could not allocate (-1398215180 of 1) memory
This happens regardless of whether I run in 32- or 64-bit mode. The
machine has 8 GB of RAM, so
I can hardly believe that RAM is a problem.
Thanks,
Richard
