[R] Zip a file

Mon Sep 17 18:40:37 CEST 2012

Hi Antony,

I don't use the function zip().  I was able to access the R documentation for zip() (package:utils). 

 I am using R 2.15 in Ubuntu 12.04.   If I wanted to compress files, I do gzip() from linux terminal.  I guess in windows, you can use 7-zip or other WinZip.  Is there any specific reason for you to zip files within R?

Hi Arun,

I tried this way, but getting an error like

Using Eclips:

“Error in .rj.originals$help(..., help_type = "html") : 'topic' should be a name, length-one character vector or reserved word”

Using R:

Error: could not find function "zip"

So, is it required to install any package for zip functioning ?

HI, 

If you look ?zip(), the usage is: 
     zip(zipfile, files, flags = "-r9X", extras = "", 
         zip = Sys.getenv("R_ZIPCMD", "zip"))
