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" > fn<-list.files(pattern="bz2", full.names=TRUE) > fn [1] "./65502805_532.pair.bz2" > unz(description=fn, filename="65502805_532.pair", open="r") Error in unz(description = fn, filename = "65502805_532.pair", open = "r") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In unz(description = fn, filename = "65502805_532.pair", open = "r") : cannot open zip file './65502805_532.pair.bz2' > sessionInfo() R version 2.14.0 (2011-10-31) Platform: i386-pc-mingw32/i386 (32-bit) locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252 LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252 LC_NUMERIC=C [5] LC_TIME=English_United States.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] pdInfoBuilder_1.18.0 oligo_1.18.1 oligoClasses_1.16.0 affxparser_1.26.2 RSQLite_0.10.0 [6] DBI_0.2-5 Biobase_2.12.1 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] affyio_1.22.0 Biostrings_2.22.0 bit_1.1-8 ff_2.2-4 IRanges_1.12.1 [6] preprocessCore_1.16.0 splines_2.14.0 tools_2.14.0 zlibbioc_1.0.0 ______________________________________________ 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.
