Description

ensureSuffix(directory, fileSep), sep = fileSep),
directory = "fields/",
fileSuffix = ".txt",
fileSep = "/"
)
Arguments
fieldnames |
A list of names for the dictionaries. It is expected that files with that name can be found below the URL. |
baseurl |
The base path delivering the dictionaries. Should end in a /, field names will be appended and fed into read.csv(). |
directory |
The last component of the base url. Useful to retrieve enriched word fields from metadata repo. |
fileSuffix |
The suffix for the dictionary files |
fileSep |
The file separator used to construct the URL Can be overwritten to load local dictionaries. |
Value
A named list that holds the loaded dictionaries as character vectors.
File Format
Dictionary files should contain one word per line, with no comments or any other meta information. The entry name for the dictionary is given as the file name. It's therefore best if it does not contain special characters. The dictionary must be in UTF-8 encoding, and the file needs to end on .txt.
Examples

fields <- loadFields(fieldnames=c("Liebe", "Familie", "Krieg"))
