How do you import a plain text file as single character string in R? I think that this will probably have a very simple answer but when I tried this today I found that I couldn't find a function to do this. For example, suppose I have a file foo.txt with something I want to textmine. I tried it with: scan("foo.txt", what="character", sep=NULL) but this still returned a vector. I got it working somewhat with: paste(scan("foo.txt", what="character", sep=" "),collapse=" ") but that is quite an ugly solution which is probably unstable too.
