Hello Everybody

I have several zip files with large sizes, each of them contains at least 500 mat files and each of these mat files is a large matrix containing numbers, e.g. 8000*2000 double.

I don't have enough free space to extract these zip files and then import the data inside these matrices. So, I want to know is there any possibility to read these matrices without unzipping these zip files?

Thank you in advance

在 MATLAB Online 中打开

Suppose i have 1 zip file with 100 mat files (and no other files in it)
pass its name to zip_file_name with directory
listzipcontents function lists all the filenames in zip file
run for loop for all the files i.e. 100 for this case
extractFile is a function which extracts a specific file from zip file. it has three inputs, zipfilename,path at which you want the file to extract and the file name which we want to extract
after single file extraction in your tmp_folder, load it in matlab using load command, then delete it from the tmp_folder. it will load all files from zip folder but 1 by 1.

clear
zip_file_name = 'your zip file name';
filelist = listzipcontents(zip_file_name);
tmp_folder = 'C:\Users\PROJECT PC\Documents\MATLAB\';
for i=1:length(filelist)
extractFile(zip_file_name,tmp_folder, filelist{i});
load([tmp_folder,filelist{i}])
delete(filelist{i})
end

sorry sir. see the updated comment.

It is better to provide just the source instead of posting their code. got it

Does this only work on Windows? And does it only work if the zip file has the *.zip extension? I have zipped fies on a Mac with *.gz extension. Any help is appreciated.
