If I open a tgz archive with gzfile and then parse it using readLines I miss
the initial line of each member of the archive - and also the name of the
file although the archive otherwise complete (but useless!).

 

Is there any way within R to extract both the list of files in a tgz archive
and to extract any one of these files?

 

Clearly I can use zcat and tar on Linux, but I need this to work within the
R environment on Windows!

 

Thanks
