Generate script text (and optionally output it to the clipboard and/or an external file) that can be used to individually read in every file in a directory and assign it to an object.
dir_map(
loc = "DATA/TRANSCRIPTS/CLEANED_TRANSCRIPTS",
obj.prefix = "dat",
use.path = TRUE,
col.names = c("person", "dialogue"),
file = NULL,
copy2clip = interactive()
)
Prints a read in script text to the console, optionally copies the wrapped text to the clipboard on a Mac or Windows machine and optionally prints to an outside file.
The path/location of the transcript data files.
A character string that will be used as the prefix (followed by a unique digit) as the assignment object.
logical. If TRUE
use the actual path to the

argument. If FALSE
, the code may be more portable in that
the actual input to loc
is supplied to the

.
Supplies a vector of column names to the transcript columns.
A connection, or a character string naming the file to print to.
logical. If TRUE
attempts to copy the output to the

Generally, the researcher will want to read in and parse every transcript document separately. The task of writing the script for multiple transcript documents can be tedious. This function is designed to make the process more efficient and less prone to errors.
read.transcript
if (FALSE) {
(DIR <- system.file("extdata/transcripts", package = "qdap"))
dir_map(DIR)
