Can JMP read .gz archives ?

tsl — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 17:00:46 GMT

JMP can read .zip archives, for example

MyArchive = Open("MyArchive.zip", zip);
MyFiles = MyArchive << dir;

However ,if the file is not a .zip archive, but a .gz archive, it doesn't seem to work.

The << dir command returns an empty list.

I solved my own problem. This works for me :

MyArchive = LoadTextFile("MyFile.gz", BLOB);
MyArchiveContents = GZIPUnCompress(MyArchive);
MyDataFile  = Open(MyArchiveContents,text);
