check_antiword_installed doesn't find antiword #5

jjesusfilho · 2017-04-17T17:15:19Z

I manually downloaded antiword, but the command check_antiword_installed doesn't find it. I am using linux. If I type in command line "which antiword" I get the following response: usr/bin/antiword. But textreadr can't find it.

What does this give you:

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

jjesusfilho · 2017-04-17T21:08:45Z

check_antiword_installed('usr/bin/antiword/antiword.exe') checking if antiword is installed... antiword does not appear to be installed in root. Would you like me to try to install it there? 1: Yes 2: No Selection: 1Let me try... Hold on. It may take some time...

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")

jjesusfilho · 2017-04-18T08:46:07Z

Sys.which("antiword") antiword "/usr/bin/antiword" José de Jesus Filho, PhD Analista de dados jurídicos (11) 2372-9811 (11) 98522-0210 http://www.josejesus.info 2017-04-17 23:31 GMT-03:00 Tyler Rinker <notifications@github.com>:

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

jjesusfilho · 2017-04-18T14:24:53Z

Yes: antiword_loc() antiword "/usr/bin/antiword" José de Jesus Filho, PhD Analista de dados jurídicos (11) 2372-9811 (11) 98522-0210 http://www.josejesus.info 2017-04-18 10:04 GMT-03:00 Tyler Rinker <notifications@github.com>:

Thank you for that. Can you tell me if this gives the proper location: 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() — You are receiving this because you authored the thread.

jjesusfilho · 2017-04-18T14:54:25Z

I installed it using sudo apt-get install antiword

trinker · 2017-04-18T14:56:49Z

One more part can you run:

file.exists(antiword_loc())

jjesusfilho · 2017-04-18T16:32:41Z

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

…orks on Windows, Linux, and Mac. Thanks to José de Jesus Filho for catching this and working through the process on Linux (see issue #5).

trinker · 2017-04-19T00:44:24Z

@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.

jjesusfilho · 2017-04-19T02:58:11Z

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.

trinker · 2017-04-19T03:03:09Z

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

trinker · 2017-04-20T03:43:48Z

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