How to import a plain text file as a single character string in R?
Let us take and example of a text file
scan("example.txt", what="character", sep=NULL)
But this piece of code returns a vector but we want as a character string
For such case, we can use the readr library
install.packages("readr") # you only need to do this one time on your system library(readr)
srtingfile <- read_file("path/to/example.txt")
This will convert the text file into a string as we want
