In seanrsilver/novnet: Novel Networks Project: Tools and Utilities

Description

Usage

Txt_to_df(filename, include.all = TRUE, set.voice = NA,
  chunk.length = 5000, local = FALSE)

Arguments

filename	Character string of text name, with associated Char.csv and .txt files.
include.all	Logical vector or numerical range. If TRUE (default), processes whole text. If range (i.e. 1:18), processes only those chapters. If FALSE, will offer a prompt to determine a range.
set.voice	NA, or character string. If NA, Char.csv pulls voice from associated *Char.csv file. If "third", will ignore first-person pronouns. If "first", will attempt to transform all non-dialogue "I" and "me" into narrator, signaled on Char.csv file as "TextEgo".
chunk.length	Numeric. Default = 5000. Only used if text contains no chapters.
local	Logical vector. If FALSE (default), looks in Google Drive for files. If TRUE, looks for filename in a folder with path data/filename/.
