Well, the Rcompression package on the Omegahat package does have some facilities for it. It doesn't do it in memory, but does handle issues of moving disparate files to a common temporary directory and getting things in order generally to create the zip file. But it currently uses the external zip executable to create the archive. I probably will get around to implementing a version in memory as it has been an issue that has nagged me for a while. And we have the code for it. > > >> I know it is possible to unzip files but is it >> possible the other way round? > > No. > > > For (compressed) archives see ?tar > For other compression formats of single files see ?file > > Uwe Ligges > > >> >> Thanks in advance >> >> Christoph >> >> ______________________________________________ >> R-help@r-project.org mailing list >> https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help >> PLEASE do read the posting guide >> http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html >> and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
