Hello,

You can create a connection and read from it.

desc <- "X:/Mkt Science/Projects/ tv/202109.ext/tsa.20210901.xml.zip"
fname <- "20210901.socioDemos.a.xml"
zz <- unz(desc, fname)


Now read from zz. Example:


xml <- XML::xmlParse(zz)


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

Hi have a large number of zipped files, each containing 3 xml files that I want 
to read.  I would like to read one of the xml files without having to 
decompress each zip file first.

If I run gzfile(path2zipped file) I get

A connection with
description "X:/Mkt Science/Projects/ tv/202109.ext/tsa.20210901.xml.zip"
class       "gzfile"
mode        "rb"
text        "text"
opened      "closed"
can read    "yes"
can write   "yes"

Within that zipped file I want to read from

"20210901.socioDemos.a.xml" which is one of 3 xml files within the zip file



Is there a way to return a connection to a single file within a zipped file 
using gzfile or some other method.
