Hi List

I have a series of zip archives each containing several files. One of these files is called goCats.txt and I would like to read it into R from the archive. It's a simple tab delimited text file.
pathToZip <- '/home/iain/Documents/Work/Results/bovineMacRNAData/deAnalysis/afInfection/commonNorm/twoHrs/af2hrs.zip'

z <- unz(pathToZip, 'goCats.txt', 'r')
zT <- read.table(z, 'goCats.txt', header=T, sep='\t')

Error in read.table(z, "goCats.txt", header = T, sep = "\t") : 
  seek not enabled for this connection


The same error arises with readLines.

Can anyone advise?

Best

iain
