cm_df.transcript: Transcript With Word Number

Description

Output a transcript with word number/index above for easy input back into http://trinker.github.com/qdap/{qdap after coding.}

Usage

cm_df.transcript(text.var, grouping.var, file = NULL, indent = 4,
  width = 70, space = 2, ...)

Arguments

text.var

The text variable.

grouping.var

The grouping variables. Default NULL generates one word list for all text. Also takes a single grouping variable or a list of 1 or more grouping variables.

file

A connection, or a character string naming the file to print to (e.g., .doc, .txt).

indent

Number of spaces to indent.

width

Width to output the file (defaults to 70; this is generally a good width and indent for a .docx file).

space

An integer value denoting the vertical spacing between the grouping.var and the numbered text (allow more space for more coding room) in the output of a text file.

...

Other arguments passed to strip.

Value

• Returns a transcript by grouping variable with word number above each word. This makes use with cm_df2long transfer/usage easier because the researcher has coded on a transcript with the numeric word index already.

with(DATA, cm_df.transcript(state, person))
with(DATA, cm_df.transcript(state, list(sex, adult)))
#use it with nested variables just to keep track of demographic info
with(DATA, cm_df.transcript(state, list(person, sex, adult)))

#use double tilde "~~" to keep word group as one word
DATA$state <- mgsub("be certain", "be~~certain", DATA$state, fixed = TRUE)
with(DATA, cm_df.transcript(state, person))
DATA <- qdap::DATA
