Reading .gz file
显示 更早的评论
Hello
I have a .gz file that contains bathymetry data (hopefully!). I read online that it should be unzipped first so I tried this in 7zip. However, once I did that, the file no longer has an extension.
Is it possible to open and view this file in Matlab? Ideally I want a .txt file out of it so I can interrogate the data.
Thanks in advance for your help. I've can't attached the file as it exceeds 5MB.

gz is a format for compressed file? Don't you get the original file when you uncompress it?

You can try to see the content of the file by opening with a text editor. It might be the case that the original file also does not have an extension.

bathymetry data files do not always have extensions. Sometimes they are text files, but sometimes they are binary files such as NETCAT format. There might already be tools available to read the files. Where did you get them?

I find Olex.no as the source of the file format, but I am having difficulty finding information about the file format.

That manual just talks about mechanics such as using floppy diskettes to save the data, and does not talk about file formats. It is not relevant as the data has already been saved online and the question is how to import the data into MATLAB.

That is not the question. The user already unzipped the file, getting out a file with no extension, and the user wants to read the file.
The manufacturer is Olex.no but I cannot seem to find any documentation about the file format. I did find another commercial vendor which can read the files, but that does not really help.
