Or is there another way to achieve this?

Dear R-Help, I am looking into using the Open Calais web service (http:// sws.clearforest.com/calaisViewer/) for text mining purposes. I would like to use R to post text into one of the forms on their website. In package RCurl, there is a function called postForm(). This sounds like it would do the job. Unfortunately the URL used in the example is no longer valid (i have emailed the maintainer

Greetings, I usually read this mailing list through google groups (http://groups.google.com/group/r-help-archive), but when I opened the webpage this morning it said: "The group named r-help-archive has been removed because it violated Google's Terms Of Service." Is there an alternative website which uses a similar structure to google groups? I had a quick browse on the R Wiki

Dear R-help, The following code downloads an html document into variable 'doc' and then stores an internal representation into variable 'html.tree'. Even if the html code is malformed, this still works which is fantastic. However, as in the example below, i do get some ouput from R in the console which i would like to suppress somehow, so i can keep my window a bit cleaner. I

Dear R-Help, Is it possible to set R up to run a particular script at specific times of the day? trivial example: If the time is now 8:59:55am and I wish to run a function at 9am, I do the following: my.function <- function(x) { p1 <- proc.time() Sys.sleep(x) print('Hello R-Help!') proc.time() - p1 } my.function (5) [1] "Hello R-Help!" user system

Hi: I need to do text mining on PDF files. I understand there is a readPDF command in tm that can be used. Have read the 2008 posts on converting PDF files to text by Tony Breyal and others. Wondering if the procedure has been standardized in any tutorial or otherwise? Being new to R, I was able to follow only part of the discussion. Any way to get a set of step by step instructions

Dear R-Help, >From reading the help file, it is my understanding the the download.file() function does not support HTTPS connections. So therefore, understandably, the follow produces an error: ### R Code > url <- "https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2008-October/thread.html" > destfile <- "//PFO-SBS001/Redirected/tonyb/Desktop/R_web_test/tmp.txt" >

Dear all, I am having a problem downloading webpages through R when i run it in the DOS window under Windows Vista Basic.

Dear R-Help, I need to convert a set of '.pdf' files into an equivalent set of '.txt' files. This is so that i can do some text mining on the content. In the latest R-News letter (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/ Rnews_2008-2.pdf), the package 'tm' for text mining is mentioned. In that lovely package, there is a function called 'readPDF()'. In order to use

Dear all, Lets say I have several data frames as follows: > set.seed(42) > dates <- as.Date(c("2010-01-19", "2010-01-20")) > times <- c("09:30:00", "11:30:00", "13:30:00", "15:30:00") > shows <- c("Red Dwarf", "Being Human", "Doctor Who") > > df1 <- data.frame(Date = dates[1],

Howdy Gurus again Thanks to Tony.Breyal, I was able to writing the following script for analyzing a text document. But I got an error with "tm' package.

Dear all, I'm having a problem understanding why a split does not occur with in the 2nd use of the function strsplit below: # text strings > txt <- c("sales to 23 August 2008 published 29 August", + "sales to 6 September 2008 published?11 September") # first use > strsplit(txt, 'published', fixed=TRUE) [[1]] [1] "sales to 23 August 2008 "

Hi, I am looking for a R package to draw 3d plot. But not in a static way like scatterplot3d or stuff like that. I would like to make rotate the plot, to zoom/unzoom etc..., actually to render the graph 'dynamic'... (for the biologist and bioinformatician, a R package which permitts to reproduce what pdb viewer does). Does a Way exist to do something like that in R ? Thanks,

Dear all, Question: How to merge two data frames such that new column are added in a particular way? I'm not actually sure how to best articulate my question to be honest, so i hope showing you what I want to achieve will communicate my question better.
