decompress text files

[lukeaarond]

I have a compressed text file (Ctext.txt.gz) that I would like to decompress
and save as a normal text file (Ctext.txt). I found a unix command (gunzip)
that possibly does this, but I cannot get it to work. My code in scilab is:

unix('gunzip -c Ctext.txt.gz')

This code seems to be doing nothing. What am I doing wrong? or is there a
better way to decompress this file?

Thank you.
