I imagine you are using the dataverse package. 7z is more straightforward because the file format is clear. You need to figure out the 001_AppendixC.tab file format. On first glance it looks to me like a spreadsheet. $ file /tmp/001_AppendixC.tab /tmp/001_AppendixC.tab: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract $ cd /tmp && unzip 001_AppendixC.tab $ head -n2 /tmp/xl/workbook.xml | cut -c 1-75 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <workbook xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main" Once you figure out the format manually, write an R function that figures out the format, and ask again here to find an R function that reads the format. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
