Tools to uniformly read in text data including semi-structured transcripts
Releases will be numbered with the following semantic versioning format:
<major>.<minor>.<patch>
And constructed with the following guidelines:
NEW FEATURES
peek picks up a strings.left argument to align strings to the left. This
is the default because this is a text reading package that deals primarily
with strings.
read_pdf picks up an ocr argument in order to properly handle image based
,pdf files in order to extract the text. For this task optical character
recognition (OCR) is required. The tesseract package provides the backend
for processing these types of .pdfs.
BUG FIXES
read_dir did not handle errored readins correctly resulting in an R error.NEW FEATURES
read_document picks up an explicit skip, remove.empty, and trim
argument like the other read_ functions.
read_rtf added to the document forms that can be parsed. This relies on the
striprtf package as a backend. read_document and read_transcript pick
up the ability to read rich text format as well.
MINOR FEATURES
as_transcript added for coercion of internal strings to transcript. This
function adds the ability to call out the person variable via a regex. For
example one may split after all caps as the leading string.
read_dir and read_dir_transcript pick up an ignore.case function for pattern.
Pattern becomes more powerful in that it was moved outside of the dir command
via a grep call.
BUG FIXES
ex_ functions from qdapRegex. This was the dev
version of qdapRegex. This is now the CRAN version and now works for users.NEW FEATURES
read_html added for reading in the text from the body of .html documents.
read_document inherits this ability as well.MINOR FEATURES
skip,
remove.empty, & trim to make their use more interoperable.IMPROVEMENTS
read_doc. This makes installation across
operating systems more standardized.CHANGES
The logo has been moved to tools to conform to CRAN standards.
read_doc's argument format is now FALSE by default rather than TRUE to
be consistent with the other read functions.
read_docx no longer uses the XML package but now uses xml2 as
suggested by Jeroen Ooms (see issue #7).
NEW FEATURES
read_dir_transcript added to complement read_dir aimed at a directory of
transcripts.This package is a collection of convenience tools for reading text documents into R.
