I admit, an example to read in external data is missing. Maybe inform the

Try if this works; I have not use the special functions in tm, so there
might be another problem, but readPlain looks like a good place to continue
Dieter
library(tm)
filenames = list.files(path=".",pattern="\\.txt")
docs = ""
