使用R中的stringr提取特定单词周围的单词样本

我已经看到关于这个主题的SO上发布了几个类似的问题,但它们似乎措辞不当(例子)或者用不同的语言(例子).

在我的场景中,我认为白色空间所包围的一切都是一个词.表情符号,数字,字母串不是真正的单词,我不在乎.我只想获得一些关于找到的字符串的上下文,而不必读取整个文件来确定它是否是有效匹配.

我尝试使用以下内容,但如果您有一个很长的文本文件,则需要一段时间才能运行:

text <- "He served both as Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England. After his death, he remained extremely influential through his works, especially as philosophical advocate and practitioner of the scientific method during the scientific revolution. Bacon has been called the father of empiricism.[6] His works argued for the possibility of scientific knowledge based only upon inductive and careful observation of events in nature. Most importantly, he argued this could be achieved by use of a skeptical and methodical approach whereby scientists aim to avoid misleading themselves. While his own practical ideas about such a method, the Baconian method, did not have a long lasting influence, the general idea of the importance and possibility of a skeptical methodology makes Bacon the father of scientific method. This marked a new turn in the rhetorical and theoretical framework for science, the practical details of which are still central in debates about science and methodology today. Bacon was knighted in 1603 and created Baron Verulam in 1618[4] and Viscount St. Alban in 1621;[3][b] as he died without heirs, both titles became extinct upon his death. Bacon died of pneumonia in 1626, with one account by John Aubrey stating he contracted the condition while studying the effects of freezing on the preservation of meat."

stringr::str_extract(text, "(.*?\\s){1,10}Verulam(\\s.*?){1,10}")

我假设有更多,更快/更有效的方法来做到这一点,是吗？

试试这个:

stringr::str_extract(text, "([^\\s]+\\s){3}Verulam(\\s[^\\s]+){3}")
# alternately, if you like " " more than \\s:
# stringr::str_extract(text, "(?:[^ ]+ ){3}Verulam(?: [^ ]+){3}")

#[1] "and created Baron Verulam in 1618[4] and"

更改内部的数字{}以满足您的需求.

您也可以使用非捕获(?:)组,但我不确定这是否会提高速度.

stringr::str_extract(text, "(?:[^\\s]+\\s){3}Verulam(?:\\s[^\\s]+){3}")
