If I open a tgz archive with gzfile and then parse it using readLines I miss the initial line of each member of the archive - and also the name of the file although the archive otherwise complete (but useless!).
Is there any way within R to extract both the list of files in a tgz archive and to extract any one of these files? Clearly I can use zcat and tar on Linux, but I need this to work within the R environment on Windows!
