`assemble_rtf` error/warning message

[kaz462]

Question I'm not able to repeat this file: tlf-primary.rtf in the output by using r2rtf::assemble_rtf. I tried with tlf-efficacy.rtf and it works fine.

Could you help me understand the error/warning message? Thanks a lot!

To reproduce

tlf_path <- rep(
  "/cloud/project/submission/output/tlf-primary-pilot3.rtf", # primary table
  2 
)

r2rtf::assemble_rtf(
  input = tlf_path,
  output = "rtf-combine.rtf"
)
#> Warning in FUN(X[[i]], ...): incomplete final line found on
#> '/cloud/project/submission/output/tlf-primary-pilot3.rtf'

#> Warning in FUN(X[[i]], ...): incomplete final line found on
#> '/cloud/project/submission/output/tlf-primary-pilot3.rtf'
#> Warning in max(grep("fcharset", rtf[[1]])): no non-missing arguments to max;
#> returning -Inf
#> Error in start[i]:end[i]: result would be too long a vector

r2rtf::assemble only work for RTF files generated by the r2rtf package.

From the source code , you can see tlf-primary.rtf is created by the pharmaRTF package.

If you want to assemble RTF files generated beyond r2rtf package, assemble_docx is a more robust solution.

Thanks @elong0527 ! This is good to know for someone new to this package :) Is the following documented somewhere?

r2rtf::assemble only work for RTF files generated by the r2rtf package.
