textTinyR


The textTinyR package consists of text processing functions for small or big data files. More details on the functionality of textTinyR can be found in blog-post1 and blog-post2. The R package can be installed, in the following Operating Systems: Linux, Mac and Windows. However, there is one limitation : chinese, japanese, korean, thai or languages with ambiguous word boundaries are not supported.


UPDATE 01-04-2018 : boost-locale is no longer a system requirement for the textTinyR package.

UPDATE 06-02-2020


Docker images of the textTinyR package are available to download from my dockerhub account. The images come with Rstudio and the R-development version (latest) installed. The whole process was tested on Ubuntu 18.04. To pull & run the image do the following,



docker pull mlampros/texttinyr:rstudiodev

docker run -d --name rstudio_dev -e USER=rstudio -e PASSWORD=give_here_your_password --rm -p 8787:8787 mlampros/texttinyr:rstudiodev


The user can also bind a home directory / folder to the image to use its files by specifying the -v command,



docker run -d --name rstudio_dev -e USER=rstudio -e PASSWORD=give_here_your_password --rm -p 8787:8787 -v /home/YOUR_DIR:/home/rstudio/YOUR_DIR mlampros/texttinyr:rstudiodev


In the latter case you might have first give permission privileges for write access to YOUR_DIR directory (not necessarily) using,



chmod -R 777 /home/YOUR_DIR


The USER defaults to rstudio but you have to give your PASSWORD of preference (see www.rocker-project.org for more information).


Open your web-browser and depending where the docker image was build / run give,


1st. Option on your personal computer,


http://0.0.0.0:8787


2nd. Option on a cloud instance,


http://Public DNS:8787


to access the Rstudio console in order to give your username and password.
