docnames: Get or set document names

Description

Get or set the document names of a corpus, tokens, or dfm object.

Usage

docnames(x)
docnames(x) <- value
docid(x)
segid(x)

Value

docnames returns a character vector of the document names

docnames <- assigns new values to the document names of an object. docnames can only be character, so any non-character value assigned to be a docname will be coerced to mode character.

docid returns an internal variable denoting the original "docname" from which a document came. If an object has been reshaped (e.g. corpus_reshape() or segmented (e.g. corpus_segment()), docid(x) returns the original docnames but segid(x) does the serial number of those segments within the original document.

Arguments

x

the object with docnames

value

a character vector of the same length as x
