term document matrix from tm package, selecting columns

[Quack]

Using the tm package, I got a Term Document Matrix from a corpus of words. After using this code to get a dataframe:

dtm <- TermDocumentMatrix(tdocs)
m <- as.matrix(dtm)
v <- sort(rowSums(m),decreasing=TRUE)
d <- data.frame(word=names(v), freq=v)

d25<- d[1:25,]

The data frame looks like this:

head(d25)
word freq
get get 1699
just just 1656
good good 1437
like like 1257
know know 1186
day day 1174
names(d25)
[1] "word" "freq"

What about those words in the leftmost side? I want to get a dataframe with only the word and freq columns. How do I get rid of those extra words? I've tried using the d <-select(d, word, freq) in dplyr , but the extra column comes back

head(d25)
word freq
get get 1699
just just 1656
good good 1437
like like 1257
know know 1186
day day 1174

That is not an extra column, those are just row names, you can get rid of them with

rownames(d25) <- NULL

Yes it worked! Thank you! I didn't know that rows could have names.

If your question's been answered (even by you!), would you mind choosing a solution? It helps other people see which questions still need help, or find solutions if they have similar problems. Here’s how to do it:

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
