Hi Phil
Thanks, but this still doesn't work.
Here's a reproducible example (was wrapping my head around these
functions before).
x <- as.data.frame(cbind(rep('a',5), rep('b',5)))
y <- as.data.frame(cbind(rep('c',5), rep('d',5)))
write.table(x, 'x.txt', sep='\t', quote=FALSE)
write.table(y, 'y.txt', sep='\t', quote=FALSE)
zip('test.zip', files = c('x.txt', 'y.txt'))
pathToZip <- paste(getwd(), '/test.zip', sep='')
z <- unz(pathToZip, 'x.txt', 'r')
zT <- read.table(z, header=FALSE, sep='\t')
Error in read.table(z, header = FALSE, sep = "\t") :
seek not enabled for this connection
As I said in my previous email readLines fails as well. Rather
strange really.
Anyway, as before any advice would be appreciated.
Best
Iain

Iain -
Once you specify the file to unzip in the call to unz, there's no
need to repeat the filename in read.table. Try:
z <- unz(pathToZip, 'goCats.txt', 'r')
zT <- read.table(z, header=TRUE, sep='\t')
(Although I can't reproduce the exact error which you saw.)

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/af2
hrs.zip'
z <- unz(pathToZip, 'goCats.txt', 'r')
zT <- read.table(z, 'goCats.txt', header=T, sep='\t')
Error in read.table(z, "goCats.txt", header = T, sep = "\t") :
? seek not enabled for this connection
The same error arises with readLines.
Can anyone advise?
