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

I was able to fix it by converting the data back to plain text format using this line of code

corpus <- tm_map(corpus, PlainTextDocument)
