corpus_files: Get a comprehensive data frame describing the files of your corpus

Description

The function translates the hierarchy defintion given into a data frame with one row for each file, including the generated document ID.

Usage

  full_list = FALSE
)

Arguments

dir

File path to the root directory of the text corpus, or a TIF[1] compliant data frame.

Value

Either a data frame with columns doc_id, file, path and one further factor column for each hierarchy level, or (if full_list=TRUE) a list containing that data frame (all_files) and also data frames describing the hierarchy by given names (hier_names), directories (hier_dirs) and relative paths (hier_paths).
