load_txt: Load text files.
In ekbrown/corpling: Simple Tools for Corpus Linguistics

Loads text files and puts them into a list, one file per list element, with the file name as the corresponding list element name. This function only loads files with the extension .txt; files with other extensions in the directory are ignored. The output of this function can be passed to concord() and ngram_freq().

1 2	load_txt(pathway, encoding = "UTF-8", comment_char = NULL, recursive = FALSE)

`pathway`	Pathway to the directory with `.txt` files or the pathway to a specific `.txt` file, for example, `pathway = "/pathway/to/directory/"` or `pathway = "/pathway/to/file_name.txt"`, where `"/pathway/to/directory"` and `"pathway/to/file_name.txt"` are replaced by the actual pathway on a user's machine. If the `.txt` files to be loaded are in the working directory of the R session, the user can simply specify `load_txt(getwd())`.
`encoding`	Specifies the type of encoding of the `.txt` files, with the options `"UTF-8"` (the default) and `"latin1"`.
`comment_char`	Specifies the comment character, if any, that is at the beginning of lines that should be ignored when loading the files. If `comment_char = NULL` (the default), all lines are loaded. This argument can be used to eliminate headers from corpus files before using `ngram_freq()` or `concord()`.
`recursive`	Specifies whether the function should recursively search for `.txt` files, beginning at the directory given in `pathway`. This argument is ignored if `pathway` points to a specific `.txt` file.
