How to save an R Corpus to disk

I have a large R Corpus object, using the tm package, made up of millions of small documents.

How do I save that to disk as a single text file for use with other programs (such as word2vec)?

I tried 

writeCorpus(myCorpus)

but that wrote out a million tiny text files that blew up my Mac!

I'm not very proficient in R, so any help on how to do this would be much, much appreciated. Thank you!

Solution

  • Try :

    writeLines(as.character(mycorpus), con="mycorpus.txt")

    But I don't know if it will be efficient with a million documents
