[R] How to read a .rar file in R

2013-06-09 Thread Deb Midya
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)?
 
Once again, thank you very much for the time you have given.
 
Regards,
 
Deb

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.
