This repository holds material that show thereadtext-package in action. The repository is meant as a continuation to the workshop on Text Mining St. Croix Avis to show how to import local text files into R.
I recommend that you download this repository as a .zip file and extract it on your machine. The next step is to open ImportingTextFiles.Rproj, which will open a Rstudio-project. In this Rstudio you should open the file ImportingTextFilesNotebook.Rmd, which will be located in the files-panel (typically in right lower side).
When you want to import your own files into R I strongly recommend setting up a project in Rstudio and learning a little bit about how R navigates filesystems
