Reading zip file in sas 9.2

[LineMoon]

Hello,

Is there any method , in sas 9.2 , to read a zip file : toto.zip ?

What's about zipmagic ? is there any zipmagic for unix ?

Thank you.

@Tom answered this question in your other thread.
Zipmagic - sounds like a non SAS tool- you need to search elsewhere for answers.

If you had taken the time to visit zipmagic's website, you would know that it is Windows-only.

Take a look at the zip/unzip commands available on most UNIXen, and the p7zip package for Linux with the 7z and 7za commands.

Thank you for your answer.

Yes, I know before, the zipmagic exists for windows, even I have seen in some books an exemple with engine : V8.

But I want to know,  if can get some thing likes that for unix.

A quick overview of the compression/decompression tools typically available on a UNIX system can be found here:

https://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/Guide_to_Unix/Commands/File_Compression

In-depth information is available in the manual pages, present on UNIX as either

man command

or

info command
