Add support for writing multiple files to zip/tar #203

JiaxiangBU · 2019-03-21T03:13:44Z

Here are two reproducible examples.

I find it cannot export a compressed file in the format zip.
I find a list of data.frame exporting is supported in the format xlsx, instead of tar. In the future, any chance to add this feature. I am not sure, but in my daily work, it is often to compress a couple of files in a zip file.

library(rio)
suppressMessages(library(tidyverse))
safely(export)(mtcars, "mtcars.tsv.tar")
#> $result
#> [1] "mtcars.tsv.tar"
#> 
#> $error
#> NULL
safely(export)(mtcars, "mtcars.tsv.zip")
#> Warning in system2(zip, args, invisible = TRUE): '"zip"' not found
#> $result
#> NULL
#> 
#> $error
#> <simpleError in compress_out(cfile = cfile, filename = file, type = compress): File compression failed for mtcars.tsv.zip!>

The problem with exporting to .zip is not reproducible for me. I would guess you do not have a zip tool installed on your system. See ? utils::zip for more information on that.

The second issue about writing multiple files to a zip or tar is a good idea but it's not currently supported. I'll add it to the wishlist.

I'm going to reopen as a reminder to work on writing multiple files to zip/tar. Thanks again.
