similar to: zip.file.extract on Windows

I received several answer to my querry re reading zipped files, R.Gentleman, Liaw Andy, BD Ripley,J Holtman, A.Matt, and others, sorry if I missed your names. a- use pipe to run external unzip to a file and read from there b- use gzfile() to open directly a gzipped file c- use zip.file.extract() solution b works like a charm, unfortunately it open gzipped files and not zipped files, would it be

Hi Reading the help for ?unz I was wondering if I can read data into R from within an zipfile that is on some website, like maybe: dtaa = read.table(unz("http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/examples/alsm/alsm.zip","Ch01pr19.dat")) Thanks for letting me know if you came acros such a thing before. Toby

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 List I have a series of zip archives each containing several files. One of these files is called goCats.txt and I would like to read it into R from the archive. It's a simple tab delimited text file. pathToZip <- '/home/iain/Documents/Work/Results/bovineMacRNAData/deAnalysis/afInfection/commonNorm/twoHrs/af2hrs.zip' z <- unz(pathToZip, 'goCats.txt', 'r') zT

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.

Hi, you could use "scan" instead, it seems to work fine also when wrapped around "unz". Or, alternatively, you could use "unzip" instead of "unz". It works as expected, i.e. reads the last incomplete line and throws a warning about this. So it seems to me that "unz" creates a non-blocking connection, whereas "unzip" creates a

Hi again, The unz connection is non-blocking by default. I checked do_unz which calls R_newunz which calls init_con and the only place in any of those functions that sets 'blocking' is init_con which sets it to FALSE: https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/0c26529e807a9b1dd65f7324958c17bf72e1de1a/src/main/connections.c#L713 I'll open an issue on R-bugzilla and see if they're

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",

Hi, I have downloaded a bunch of bz2 files. I wonder if R will be able to unzip them in a batch mode or even one at a time? I was looking at the unz function. But it didn't work well. Say I have a bz2 file in H:/Temp/65502805_532.pair.bz2. Anyone has any suggestion? thanks John > setwd("H:\\Temp\\") > getwd() [1] "H:/Temp" >

Hello everyone, Can anyone give me some hint/suggestion for unzipping a file in R? The help file for "zip.file.extract" function seems to be difficult to understand. For example, the name of my zip file is "refGene.txt.gz", which is located in "C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\test1". I would like to unzip this file to the same directory. Here's

But note: > zip("hello.zip", "hello.txt") updating: hello.txt (stored 0%) > readChar(unz("hello.zip","hello.txt"),100) [1] "hello" I leave it to you and other wiser heads to figure out.

Dear list, I'm seeing a strange interaction with readLines() and unz() when reading a file without an empty final line. The final line gets dropped silently: > cat("hello", file = "hello.txt") > zip("hello.zip", "hello.txt") adding: hello.txt (stored 0%) > readLines(unz("hello.zip", "hello.txt")) character(0) The

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"))

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():

As part of my work, I am trying to append matrices onto data frames. Naively I assumed that when rbinding a data.frame and matrix, the matrix would be coerced and appended, keeping the names from the data frame. Clearly, I am not fully understanding the process by which rbind works. Example code: > A<-data.frame(1,1,1); names(A)=letters[1:3] ; B<-matrix(0,2,3) > rbind(A,B)

Hi Sorry, I am clearly missing something here. I want to read this file directly: ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/mirbase/targets/v5/arch.v5.txt.gallus_gallus. zip I tried using read.table(gzfile("ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/mirbase/targets/v5/arch.v5 .txt.gallus_gallus.zip")) But I got an error: Error in open.connection(file, "r") : cannot open the connection In addition:

Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment

Dear list, I needed to extract a zip-archive, and found zip.file.extract in utils. My only problem was the use of tempdir(), since I wanted to permanently extract the archive at a fixed location for later use. My own fix was simple, adding an extra parameter zipdir (without default), and within the function change tmpd <- tempdir() to tmpd = ifelse(missing(zipdir),tempdir(),zipdir) This

Hi, I downloaded a package with .gz extension, which presumably works for Unix, when I installed it directly on windows, it has the error msg: Error in gzfile(file, "r") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning messages: 1: In unzip(zipname, exdir = dest) : error 1 in extracting from zip file 2: In gzfile(file, "r") : cannot open compressed file

Hi All, I've just upgraded our CRM and it has an Asterisk Integration Module that I would like to test out. The CRM is running on one of our hosted servers in the cloud. The Asterisk server is running in my office. I am running Asterisk 1.4.21.2~dfsg-1ubuntu3. Reading the page http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20config%20manager.conf got me a little concerned
