parseRtfLines: parse a character vector containing RTF strings

Description

parse a character vector containing RTF strings

Usage

parseRtfLines(lines, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

lines

character vector containing RTF. Encoding?

verbose

single logical value, defaults to FALSE in most functions.

Value

named character vector, with names being the ICD-9 codes, and the contents being the descriptions from the RTF source. Elsewhere I do this the other way around, but the tests are now wired for this layout. "Tidy" data would favour having an un-named two-column data frame.
