loading gz files/ zip files without extracting into MATLAB

Hi all

I have a huge text file zipped into .gz. I would like to load/ import the text file in .gz with out unzipping it.

After browsing google, I got to know that it can be done via java. I have seen few links as well. But the links so far discussed only listing the file contents.

Any option of loading the data in .gz files without unzipping?

Thanks in advance.

@Dr. Siva Srinivas Kolukula: what form would you like the data to be in after reading into MATLAB ?

The file in the .gz file has a matrix of size 6000x6000, I am expecting the same matrix. Preferably double. And thank you for the comment.

@Stephen Cobeldick, I managed it to do in java......now I can call the java loaded data in MATLAB and solve my purpose.

Soon I will upload the file in mathworks and give the link here.....

Hi, did you upload the files in mathworks?

I am processing asc.gz files in matlab. I hope your code may be useful for me.
