NAME

AI::Categorizer::Collection::Files - One document per file

SYNOPSIS

  my $c = new AI::Categorizer::Collection::Files
    (path => '/tmp/docs/training',
     category_file => '/tmp/docs/cats.txt');
  print "Total number of docs: ", $c->count_documents, "\n";
  while (my $document = $c->next) {
    ...
  }
  $c->rewind; # For further operations

DESCRIPTION

This implements a Collection class in which each document exists as a single file on a filesystem. The documents can exist in a single directory, or in several directories.

METHODS

This is a subclass of the abstract AI::Categorizer::Collection class, so any methods mentioned in its documentation are available here.

new(): Creates a new Collection object and returns it. In addition to the parameters accepted by the superclass, the following parameters are accepted:

path: Indicates a location on disk where the documents can be found. The path may be specified as a string giving the name of a directory, or as a reference to an array of such strings if the documents are located in more than one directory.
recurse: Indicates whether subdirectories of the directory (or directories) in the "path" parameter should be descended into. If set to a true value, they will be descended into. If false, they will be ignored. The default is false.
