R help - Jan 2014 - How do you transform a dataframe to a corpus?

Hi;

I have a data frame complains w/ dimensions 1133529    1 ( 1.13m obs 1 col)&
I am trying to transform it into a corpus
using the following code: myCorpus <-Corpus(VectorSource(complaints$text))
Error in .Source(readPlain, encoding, length(x), FALSE, names(x), 0, TRUE, 
: 
  vectorized sources must have positive length
Does anybody understand the error message?


Thanks

HI,
I couldn't reproduce the error.

complaints <- data.frame(text=c("Do your homework", "Provide
reproducible example","Read the R-help manual"))
library(tm)
myCorpus <- Corpus(VectorSource(as.character(complaints$text)))
myCorpus
#A corpus with 3 text documents
A.K.
