Text Parser and Word Frequency using R

I spent a little time trying to find a simple parser for text files, and this certainly works, and is straightforward:

Example Code

 # Simple word frequency   
 #   
 # Read text   
 wordCount.text <- scan(file = choose.files(), what = 'char', sep = '\n')  

 # Removes whitepace  
 wordCount.text <- paste(wordCount.text, collapse = " ")  

 # Convert to lower   
 wordCount.text <- tolower(wordCount.text)  

 # Split on white space   
 wordCount.words.list <- strsplit(wordCount.text, '\\W+', perl = TRUE)  

 # convert to vector   
 wordCount.words.vector <- unlist(wordCount.words.list)  

 # table method builds word count list   
 wordCount.freq.list <- table(wordCount.words.vector)  

 # Sorts word count list   
 wordCount.sorted.freq.list <- sort(wordCount.freq.list, decreasing = TRUE)  

 # Concantenates the word and count before export   
 wordCount.sorted.table <- paste(names(wordCount.sorted.freq.list), wordCount.sorted.freq.list, sep = '\t')  

 # Output to file   
 cat('Word\tFREQ', wordCount.sorted.table, file = choose.files(), sep = '\n')  

Example Results
