unzip a .zip file
I did this
dataFrom="E:/test/"
folderTo="E:/test2/"
s=list.files(dataFrom)
j=1`enter code here`
while(j<=length(s))
{
unzip(paste(dataFrom,s[j], sep=""),exdir=folderTo)
j=j+1
}
Answer is: exdir doesn't exist, and it exists, I created
You could do it like this:
zipF<-file.choose() # lets you choose a file and save its file path in R (at least for windows)
outDir<-"C:\\Users\\Name\\Documents\\unzipfolder" # Define the folder where the zip file should be unzipped to
unzip(zipF,exdir=outDir) # unzip your file
Well you could also define both paths in R the classical way:
Assuming your zip file is named file.zip
zipF<- "C:\\path\\to\\my\\zipfile\\file.zip"
outDir<-"C:\\Users\\Name\\Documents\\unzipfolder"
unzip(zipF,exdir=outDir)
exdir
defines the directory to extract files to. It will be created if not already available.
If you don't set exdir
, unzip
will just unzip it to your current working directory.
