I am having problems getting the unz() function to work as a connection to start reading a file... z <- unz("c:/temp/stoxx.zip", "close_tmi_components.txt", "r") readLines(z,2) yields the following problems: > z <- unz("c:/temp/stoxx.zip", "close_tmi_components.txt", "r") Error in unz("c:/temp/stoxx.zip",

I would greatly appreciate some example of correct usage of function unz. I have to download and uncompress the following web compressef file: ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/mirbase/targets/v5/arch.v5.txt.homo_sapiens.zip I tried the following command that does not work: Targets.rec <- readLines(zz <- unz("ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/mirbase/targets/v5/arch.v5.txt.homo_sapiens.zip"))

I get unexpected behavior from "readLines()" and "scan()" depending on how the file is opened with "gzfile" or "unz". More specifically: > file <- gzfile("file.gz") > readLines(file,1) [1] "a\tb\tc" > readLines(file,1) [1] "a\tb\tc" > close(file) It seems that the stream is rewound between calls to readLines.

Not sure this is a bug in R. Maybe its a bug in my understanding of unz(). The character 'b2' (hexadecimal) is in position 535 of line 1 of 'naughty.csv'. This character appears as superscript '2' and came to me in an EXCEL file that I converted to text in a comma separated ( *.csv ) format. The first line gets truncated by readLines after 534 characters using unz():

I prefer to run games that require CDs from image files, since it is faster and protects the life of my CDs. In windows, I would just mount the disc image and I could then play. But using Wine and Ubuntu, it appears to work differently. When installing a Windows CD using WINE under Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, how should I go about mounting a disc image so it is seen by games running under WINE as a CD?

Dear List, Does somebody know how to get the filename lists in the ziped when "gzfile" or "unz" command is used ? Thanks for your help. Shawn Lee -- The information contained in this communication and any atta...{{dropped}}

Hi! I'm trying to read individual files from a ZIP archive, using the unz() function. Some of the files contain non-ASCII characters and I'd like to avoid unpacking them in a temporary directory. My problem is that unz() seems to ignore the encoding="latin1" option I need to read the non-ASCII characters properly. I can't find a clear indication in the documentation that

I am trying to run my own legal copy of Propellerhead (http://www.propellerheads.se/) Reason 2.5 through Wine on latest Ubuntu on Asus (http://www.asus.com/) netbook, which has no optical drive. When the application starts, it asks me to ?Please insert the CD?, which I thought I knew how to do because after all, I had to mount the one of the three ISOs to start the installation. I run this

So it looks like Wine is doing a good job of emulating Windows. It's so good that I'm having the same problem with old games as I was under WinXP. If I play a game with CD audio tracks, it freezes for a few seconds every time the track changes. Under Windows, I used to apply the IgnoreMCIStop fix from the Windows Application Compatibility Toolkit to fix the problem. Does Wine have

I've tried Alcohol120, Clone Drive, CD Rom Emulator and daemontools but none of them work for me with Wine. Anybody knows that virtual CD program works in Wine?

I am new to Wine--I tried it about 7 or 8 years ago, with no luck whatever, and now for the first time I'm trying it again. I am amazed at how well it works! I have installed 2 windows programs, DraftSight and GcmWin. The first is a CAD program and the second produces a Great Circle Map centered on your input coordinates. I would like to try and install an old AutoCad, but I'm

Is it possible to mount either an ISO Archive file, or a location within my File System, as a CDROM which WINE can use as such? If so, then how can I do that?

I am a website designer who is rather sick of vista and cannot find a copy of XP. I use linux for my personal computer and have been debating switching my business computer over to linux (Maybe Ubuntu?). My problem is I have several programs I require and need to know if they can be used through wine. I did a bit of research and found Wine Doors. It looks promising but can anyone tell me if

I am trying to install my copy of Medieval II total war from the disk image. The initial setup works fine but halfway through the install it asks for me to insert the next disk containing a file. The second disk is mounted and i designate the path to the appropriate file, but i get an error saying "setup could not find a file on the specified path or disk Please check that the proper disk is

Hi I am having trouble with the setup of Oblivion 1. I copied my cd into an ISO file 2. I than transferred it to my computer 3. I used the command "mkdir /mnt/oblivion" 4. I used the command "mount -o loop -t iso9660 The.Elder.Scrolls.IV.Oblivion.ISO /mnt/oblivion" (it did tell me that the information was read-only) 5. I used "cd /mnt/oblivion" 6. "ls" it

This is driving me nuts. I'm trying to run an older game that checks the Volume Label of the CD to make sure it is legit. I don't wish to carry the CD around with me all the time, and my laptops CD-ROM drive doesn't always work that reliably, so I'm trying to use an ISO image. I mount the file using this command in Ubuntu 8.10: sudo mount discimage.iso mount_dir -o loop I also

I am new to linux and am currently using Kubuntu 11.04 on a coby 10in netbook with no cd drive. I have ISO files of the diablo II install play cinematics and LOD discs. i was wondering if it was possible to mount and play off of those files. something similar to Daemon tools. i tried Acetone ISO but after i mounted nothing happend. I googled for a while and came to this site and read alot about

My wife has a Asus Eee (running the original Xandros Linux), on which she wants to run the Rosetta Stone language self-learning software. Naturally, we have it in a Windows-version, so I installed Wine, copied the files on the CD-ROM to a USB memory stick, ran the installer under Wine, and everything worked, to my surprise, without more than a few glitches and re-tries. So the program itself

Good evening my fellow Linux enthusiasts, for some time now I've been trying to run "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" on WINE with very little success. I've gotten it to play but with no sound and very glitchy graphics. The various menus flicker wildly and the characters are messed up. A while ago I launched Oblivion from the terminal and here's what I got from it:

Hey, Ive just replaced Windows 7 on my laptop with Ubuntu Natty. I'm an experienced computer user with more than half a brain so i am usually good at getting things to work but I absolutely cannot figure out how to install a game Ive downloaded so could someone talk me through it please. Mastering this game will lead on to others. I have downloaded Lords of the Realm II in ISO format. I
