[R] Dictionary not showing full list of trems with tm Package

[Patrick Casimir]

Hello Fellows,


I want to use dictionary function to capture all specific terms from a corpus of 102 docs but the dictionary only captures those terms in 10 documents. I need those terms from all 102 docs.  Any idea why? How do I get the dictionary to return for all 102 docs? See my coding below. Can anyone help me capture any specific terms from all the documents in the DocumentTermMatrix? When I use the function Dictionary (), I got the error: Error: could not find function "Dictionary"


Million Thanks
