R tm package invalid input in 'utf8towcs'

Question

I\'m trying to use the tm package in R to perform some text analysis. I tied the following:

require(tm)
dataSet <- Corpus(DirSource(\'tmp/\'))
dataSet <         


        

Answer 1

This is from the tm faq:

it will replace non-convertible bytes in yourCorpus with strings showing their hex codes.

I hope this helps, for me it does.

tm_map(yourCorpus, function(x) iconv(enc2utf8(x), sub = "byte"))
