In miserman/lingmatch: Linguistic Matching and Accommodation

Initialize Directories for Dictionaries and Latent Semantic Spaces

Description

Creates directories for dictionaries and latent semantic spaces if needed, sets them as the
lingmatch.dict.dir and lingmatch.lspace.dir options if they are not already set, and creates links to them in their expected locations ('~/Dictionaries' and '~/Latent Semantic Spaces') by default if applicable.

Usage

lma_initdirs(base = "", dict = "Dictionaries",
  lspace = "Latent Semantic Spaces", link = TRUE)

Arguments

base	Path to a directory in which to create the dict and lspace subdirectories.
dict	Path to the dictionaries directory relative to base.
lspace	Path to the latent semantic spaces directory relative to base.
link	Logical; if TRUE (default), the full dict and/or lspace paths exist (potentially after being created), and they are not '~/Dictionaries' or '~/Latent Semantic Spaces' respectively, junctions (Windows) or symbolic links will be created: ~/Dictionaries <<===>> dict and ~/Latent Semantic Spaces <<===>> lspace.

Value

Paths to the [1] dictionaries and [2] latent semantic space directories, or a single path if only dict or lspace is specified.

Examples

## Not run: 

# set up the expected dictionary and latent semantic space directories
lma_initdirs("~")

# set up directories elsewhere, and links to the expected locations
lma_initdirs("d:")

# point options and create links to preexisting directories
lma_initdirs("~/NLP_Resources", "Dicts", "Dicts/Embeddings")

# create just a dictionaries directory and set the
# lingmatch.dict.dir option without creating a link
lma_initdirs(dict = "z:/external_dictionaries", link = FALSE)

## End(Not run)
