ReplyDeleteThank you for very clear tutorial. I am having one problem with the
ReplyDelete"Example with dataframe" slide in the unlist function. it skips all NULL
or blank values which gives error when building the data frame.
I am still new to R and I can't figure out how to fix.
Any ideas?
I have found that adding
Deleteif (length(title) == 0) title=NA
will fix the issue however using
if (is.null(title)) title <- NA
as shown in Part 2 will not work in all cases
