Dear list,
I'm seeing a strange interaction with readLines() and unz() when reading
a file without an empty final line. The final line gets dropped silently:
> cat("hello", file = "hello.txt")
> zip("hello.zip", "hello.txt")
adding: hello.txt (stored 0%)
> readLines(unz("hello.zip", "hello.txt"))
character(0)
The documentation for readLines() says if the final line is incomplete for
"non-blocking text-mode connections" the line is "pushed back, silently"
but otherwise "accepted with a warning".
My understanding is that the unz() here is blocking so the line should be
accepted. Is that incorrect? If so, how would I go about reading such
lines from a zip file?
Best,
Mikko
