check_antiword_installed doesn't find antiword about textreadr HOT 14 CLOSED

from textreadr.

What does this give you:

check_antiword_installed('usr/bin/antiword/antiword.exe')

from textreadr.

from textreadr.

There are some Windows based checks that need to be extended. I will utilize Unix approaches conditionally. Can you try the following:

Sys.which("antiword")

from textreadr.

from textreadr.

Thank you for that. Can you tell me what this gives:

antiword_loc <- function(){

    myPaths <- c("antiword", "~/.cabal/bin/antiword", "~/Library/Haskell/bin/antiword",
        "C:\\PROGRA~1\\antiword\\antiword.exe", "/usr/bin/antiword",
        "/Applications/antiword.app/Contents/MacOS/antiword", 
        file.path(strsplit(getwd(), "(/|\\\\)+")[[1]][1], 'antiword/antiword.exe'))
    
    panloc <- Sys.which(myPaths)
    temp <- panloc[panloc != ""]

    short.path <- which.min(unlist(lapply(gregexpr("[Aa]ntiword", temp), "[[", 1)))
    temp[short.path]
}

antiword_loc()

file.exists(antiword_loc())

And...to install antiword did you use sudo apt-get install antiword or did you download the tar ball, extract the contents, navigate to antiword directory and run:

make
sudo make install

from textreadr.

from textreadr.

from textreadr.

One more part can you run:

file.exists(antiword_loc())

from textreadr.

file.exists(antiword_loc())
[1] TRUE

from textreadr.

@jjesusfilho can you try reinstalling the dev version

library(devtools)
install_github('trinker/textreadr')
library(textreadr)

...and try the following:

check_antiword_installed()
check_antiword_installed('usr/bin/antiword')

x <- system.file("docs/Yasmine_Interview_Transcript.doc", package = "textreadr")
read_doc(x)

Hopefully, we can close this if all checks out.

from textreadr.

When I run:
check_antiword_installed()

I get:
checking if antiword is installed...

antiword appears to be installed.

...Let the .doc extraction begin!

But when I run:

check_antiword_installed('usr/bin/antiword')
I get:

checking if antiword is installed...

Error in install_anitword_linux() :
Antiword must be installed first. Please install first:

sudo apt-get install antiword

Anyway, It's working now and I was able to read all my doc texts.

Thank you very much. By the way, I love your packages and I have promoted them in the Brazilian R community.

Cheers.

Thank you very much. Your support and word of mouth advertisement are greatly appreciated.

Can you try one last thing. I think I know the original problem with the path. Try:

check_antiword_installed('/usr/bin/antiword')

I believe it needs a leading slash on Linux. I have added your contribution to the NEWS file as well: https://github.com/trinker/textreadr/blob/master/NEWS

from textreadr.

I got Linux up and running and confirm it was the leading slash. I'm closing this.
