R Reading in a zip data file without unzipping it

Question

I have a very large zip file and i am trying to read it into R without unzipping it like so:

temp <- tempfile(\"Sales\", fileext=c(\"zip\"))
data <- re         


        

Answer 1

No need to use unz, as now read.table can handle the zipped file directly:

data <- read.table("Sales.zip", nrows=10, header=T, quote="\"", sep=",")
