Looks good @ImkeF ! I just have another question since I didn´t quite understand how did you get the decompression and from where...

 

The file that i have is a much larger data and not static... I was wondering how can i reference my particular data... The example that I gave above was just to illustrate the problem concept ... Now, the solution works just fine but I cannt figure it out how to reference my data in the code provided

 

Great!

To apply it to your data, there is a link in my signature.
