Hi,

Thanks in advance.

May I request you to assist me for the following please.

I am using R-3.0.1 on Windows.

Is there any R package or R function to read a .rar file (file with an 
extension rar)?

Use system() with however you unpack rar files on your OS. .rar files are archives, not files you could usefully read into R (just like tar and zip archives). At least, the commonest such files are, and those are already pretty uncommon.

There are several ways to unpack on Windows, at least 7-zip, WinZip, UnRAR (2x), WinRAR.



Once again, thank you very much for the time you have given.

Regards,

Deb
