similar to: readPDF() -- unsure how to install xpdf to make this work?

Greetings Zaki, You should really post this question on the R-help forum so that others might benefit from any responses. It's been a while since I've done this, but if memory serves, the basic process was to download xpdf and add it to the windows path, thus making it accessable from within R. Two methods follow: Method One (easiest) - using the awesome ?system command: (1) Download

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

I have a pdf file that I would like to parse into R: http://www.williams.edu/Registrar/geninfo/faculty.pdf For now, I open the file in Acrobat by hand, then save it "as text" and then use readLines(). That works fine but a) I am concerned that some information may be lost and b) I may be doing this a lot, so I would rather have R grab the information from the pdf file directly. So: is

Dear list, I am currently scraping some text data from several PDFs using the readPDF() function in the tm package. This all works very well and in most cases the encoding seems to be "latin1" - in some, however, it is not. Is there a good way in R to check character encodings? I found the functions is.utf8() and is.local() in the tau package but that obviously only gets me so far.

I'm working on a small project to extract high-frequency terms from a document and then display those terms in web page. To this end, I've to pass the file name as parameter to the Corpus function to build a corpus of only one document. I can build the corpus using the code below interactively in R. But calling the function with a file name as the parameter I got the error message saying

I have written a wrapper for heatmap.2 called heatmap.w.row.and.col.clust which auto-generates breaks using breaks<-round((c(seq(from=(-20 * stddev), to=(20 * stddev))))/20, digits = 2) #(stddev in this case = 2.5) This has always worked well in the past but now I am getting an error that non-finite breaks are being generated. Drilling down, it seems that my wrapper is generating finite

I'm having trouble achieving the results I want using a regular expression. I want to eliminate all characters that fall within square brackets as well as the brackets themselves, returning an "". I'm not sure if it's R's use of double slash escapes or something else that is tripping me up. If I only use one slash I get 1: '\[' is an unrecognized escape in a

I'm hoping to work with the tm package with some html documents. In the documentation and in the the tutorial material it says that there is a readHTML routine that can be used to read HTML documents into a corpus. However, when I try to use that routine I get an error. When I run getReaders (below) readHTML isn't listed. > getReaders() [1] "readDOC"

Estimados En ocasionas hay informaciones epidemiológicas en reportes pdf semanales como el que adjunto que quisiéramos llevar a csv o txt USANDO R para poder analizarlas estadísticamente.

Subject pretty much says it all. Wonder if there is there is some code in XML that the new gcc doesn't like? See output below: * Installing *source* package 'XML' ... checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking

Hi, I have a collection of .txt documents in my working folder for which I want to do some text mining. If I run TextDocCol from the tm package, R crashes with some memory issues. Does anyone has any idea if this is related to R itself or to the tm package? Below you can find what is happening here. > setwd("/home/jan/Work/2008/Profacts/textmining/tryouts/workfolder") >

I have read the Wiki for the Yum stuff, and tried to pay attention to the variations for Centos 3/Centos 4 mentioned, but for the life of me, I can't seem to get the Dag repo working properly on my CentOS 3 system. I have installed the rpmforge rpm, but this doesn't seem to do much. It does create(I think it created it) the yum.repos.d folder, and I edited the Dag repos file to be

I now see that the root account usually does not change the behaviour of cd, so we may as well forget about the matter. My thought was: if a small change helps avoid this problem (which I think can occur easily enough), it could be

I still don't know what you did to be able to reproduce this (and I did ask). And as it is a shell script running under /bin/sh, it must be whatever is masquerading as

It turns ou that I was not quite correct regarding the cause of cd printing the 'new' directory. It is due

I am hitting this assertion: assert(I != VRBaseMap.end() && "Node emitted out of order - late"); I am not sure why this assertion is being triggered or what I changed that is causing it. This is asserting when SDValue is FrameIndexSDNode 1. I don't have any code that modified frameindices until my overloaded RegisterInfo function. I've attached the bc file.
