See also Omegahat package Rcompression (a copy of which for Windows is
on CRANextras).
Thank you, I will look into that.
But I would do this via unzip, modify, zip
once or even 10 times, yes. After that it gets boring :)
I'd like to use it to batch-correct a series of .zip files that all
contain one single wrong file inside.
I believe Dr. Ripley was suggesting calling zip and unzip utilities
through, say, the ?system function in R, as opposed to relying on R
packages/functions to perform these compression tasks on their own.
I just found out I can use 7-zip in command line form so... indeed
using a system() call would be the simplest way.
Example of not seeing the forest for the trees... ah!
thanks!
