Read the data from TXT file inside Zip File without extracting the contents in Matlab

问题

I have tab delimited ascii data in txt files which are zip compressed (and the zip may or may not contain other files). I would like to read this data into a matrix without uncompressing the zip files.

There were a few similar @matlab / @java posts earlier:

Extracting specific file from zip in matlab

Read Content from Files which are inside Zip file

I have gotten this far thanks to the above - I can identify the .txt inside the zip, but don't know how to actually read its contents. First example:

zipFilename = 'example.zip';
zipJavaFile = java.io.File(zipFilename);
zipFile=org.apache.tools.zip.ZipFile(zipJavaFile);
entries=zipFile.getEntries;
cnt=1;
while entries.hasMoreElements
    tempObj=entries.nextElement;
    file{cnt,1}=tempObj.getName.toCharArray';
    cnt=cnt+1;
end
ind=regexp(file,'$*.xml$');
ind=find(~cellfun(@isempty,ind));
file=file(ind);
file = cellfun(@(x) fullfile('.',x),file,'UniformOutput',false);
% Now Operate Any thing on File.
zipFile.close

HOWEVER, I found no example as to how to "operate anything on file". I can extract the path within the zip file, but don't know how to actually read the contents of this txt file. (I wish to directly read its contents into memory -- a matrix --, without extraction, if possible.)

The other example is

zipFilename = 'example.zip';
zipFile = org.apache.tools.zip.ZipFile(zipFilename);
entries = zipFile.getEntries;
while entries.hasMoreElements
    entry = entries.nextElement;
    entryName = char(entry.getName);
    [~,~,ext] = fileparts(entryName);
    if strcmp(ext,'.txt')
        inputStream  = zipFile.getInputStream(entry);
        %Read the contents of the file
        inputStream.close;
    end
end
zipFile.close

The original example contained code to extract the file, but I merely want to read it directly into memory. Again, I don't know how exactly to work with this inputStream.

Could anyone give me a suggestion with a MWE?
