​
Installation

To use the TXTLoader, you first need to install the purecpp_extract Python package: 
pip install purecpp_extract

​
Initialization

You can initialize the TXTLoader by providing the path to a .txt file or a directory containing .txt files. 
from purecpp_extract import TXTLoader

# Load a single TXT file
txt_loader = TXTLoader("/path/to/file.txt")

# Load all TXT files from a directory
txt_loader = TXTLoader("/path/to/directory")

​
Load

Once initialized, use the Load() method to extract the contents of the files. This method returns a list of Document objects. Each Document contains the following attributes:
  • metadata: A dictionary with metadata about the document
  • page_content: The full text content of the document
documents = txt_loader.Load()

for doc in documents:
    print(doc.metadata)
    print(doc.page_content)
  • If a single file path was provided during initialization, the returned list will contain one Document.
  • If a directory path was provided, the list will contain one Document per .txt file found in the directory.
