Getting the play into R

We've already downloaded the play and put the text file in your workspace. Your first step is to read the play into R using stri_read_lines().

You should take a look at the original text file: importance-of-being-earnest.txt

You'll see there is some foreword and afterword text that Project Gutenberg has added. You'll want to remove that, and then split the play into the introduction (the list of characters, scenes, etc.) and the main body.
