Can anyone point me in the right direction for decompressing text files that are compressed as tar.gz or zip files?

?unztar
?unz
?unzip

Note that neither .tar.gz nor .zip formats are restricted to a single file and more usually hold a collection of files.

(If you don't see these, your R needs updating.)


Cheers,
Nathan
