Hello useRs,

Having trouble getting odfWeave to work here. Crashing at unzipping like noted in many other posts. The unzip utility referred in the doc no longer exists (page last updated in 2004 and links are not found.)

If anybody knows how to make it work on XP pls advise. I can manually unzip from the command line and tried setting that option in the control, but still:

> odfWeave("examples.odt.zip",outFile,control =odfWeaveControl(zipCmd = c("pkzipc -add $$file$$ .", "pkzipc -extract $$file$$")))
  Creating  C:\DOCUME~1\BondStep\LOCALS~1\Temp\RtmpMV18bU/odfWeave04122034507
  Copying  examples.odt.zip
  Setting wd to  C:\Documents and Settings\BondStep\Local Settings\Temp\RtmpMV18bU\odfWeave04122034507
  Unzipping ODF file using pkzipc -extract "examples.odt.zip"
Error in odfWeave("examples.odt.zip", outFile, control = odfc) :
  Error unzipping file

>From cygwin:
$ pkzipc -extract examples.odt.zip

I put a .zip extension as pkzip chokes on anything which is not .zip
Have a great day everybody.
