Loading a text file in a gzip or zip archive using an applet to a String

Question

How do I load a text file in a gzip or zip archive using an applet to a String, not a byte array? Give me both gzip and zip examples.

This doesn't work:
          try
               java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(getCodeBase() + filename);
               inputStream = new java.io.BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
               if (filename.toLowerCase().endsWith(".txt.gz"))
                    inputStream = (java.io.InputStream)(new java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream(inputStream));
               else if (filename.toLowerCase().endsWith(".zip"))
                    java.util.zip.ZipInputStream zipInputStream = new java.util.zip.ZipInputStream(inputStream);
                    java.util.zip.ZipEntry zipEntry = zipInputStream.getNextEntry();
                    while (zipEntry != null && (zipEntry.isDirectory() || !zipEntry.getName().toLowerCase().endsWith(".txt")))
                         zipEntry = zipInputStream.getNextEntry();
                    if (zipEntry == null)
                         zipInputStream.close();
                         inputStream.close();
                         return "";
                    inputStream = zipInputStream;
               else
               byte bytes[] = new byte[10000000];
               byte s;
               int i = 0;
               while (((s = inputStream.read())) != null)
                    bytes[i++] = s;
               inputStream.close();
        catch (Exception e)
          }
