cursor_reach_index function

[daviddiviny]

I have been using this code in a script and wondered whether it should be added to {officer}

cursor_reach_index <- function (x, doc_index)
{
    x$officer_cursor$which <- doc_index
    x
}

AFAICS, the rttpx object has no officer_cursor element.

officer::read_pptx() |> names() |> sort()

 [1] "content_type"          "core_properties"       "cursor"                "doc_properties_custom"
 [5] "masterLayouts"         "notesMaster"           "notesSlide"            "package_dir"          
 [9] "presentation"          "rel"                   "slide"                 "slideLayouts"         
[13] "table_styles"   

What is x here and what is this function supposed to do?

@markheckmann @daviddiviny is using the Word object, it has a cursor object :)

Not sure if it would be helpful or not but I wrote a couple of wrappers adding some extra functionality and flexibility to the cursor functions https://github.com/elipousson/officerExtras/blob/main/R/cursor_docx.R
