Brock, Open up a dos prompt (use the Run menu item and type "cmd" without the quotes).
Navigate to the odt file, then try using 7z x -tzip file.odt (where file is the name of you file). Also, below is a message that someone sent to RHelp that might be of use to you. Thanks, Max Dear all, I'm resurrecting this old post (about 6 monts old, reproduced thereafter) because I have struggled against the same problem and found a solution so that I found it was worth posting for the record. The simple fix when you want to use odfWeave with 7-ZIP as a compressing/decompressing utility under windows is to use the 'x' instead of the 'e' option so as to preserve the full hierachy when decompressing. In the case of Udo's example that would be: ####################################################################### #R code library(odfWeave) #odfWeave call odfWeave("c:/temp/odfWeave-test.odt", "c:/temp/odfWeave-test-out.odt", control = odfWeaveControl(zipCmd = c("7z a -tzip $$file$$ .", "7z x -tzip $$file$$"))) ####################################################################### That's all! ______________________________________________ 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.
