rubyzip/zippy - extract in place

Question

Simple I think but can't seem to find something that works. Using either rubyzip or zippy.

I need to extract "path/to/my/file.zip to "path/to/my/file"

Documentation is quite slim for either gems.

Why don't you just call the gunzip process?

system("gunzip -S '.zip' file.jpeg.zip")

No need to use/install any gem.

But he need to use proper system and depend on extrnal app. – Hauleth Jun 07 '12 at 21:57
It is very unlikely that someone is running a Rails app in a system that doesn't have **gunzip** (and that would be Windows). – Maurício Linhares Jun 07 '12 at 22:00
Better option is to use Delayed Job and any Zip lib for Ruby. – Hauleth Jun 07 '12 at 22:16
I ended up using delayed_job and a zip library for ruby as per Hauleth. Can't mark it as the answer since its a comment. – whyvez Jun 20 '12 at 23:01
