Ruby: Copy contents of folder in zipfile

There is a zipfile. It can either have 10 files or one folder. This folder will have the 10 files. Now, if the zipfile has a folder, then i have to move all the files one directory above i.e.

zipfile.zip has folder. folder has 10 files. normally, if i unzip, i get zipfile/folder/10files. Now, I have to get like zipfile/10files. ie. move all the files one directory above.

How to do this? Please help.

If you don't mind using Linux unzip and really aren't worried about subdirectories:

def unzip(file)
  to = File.join(File.dirname(file), File.basename(file, ".*"))
  Dir.mkdir(to) unless File.exists?(to)
  `unzip -j #{file} -d #{to}`
end
# unzip('yourfile.zip')

This method creates a new directory in the same directory as the zip file with the same name as the zipfile (minus extension). It then extracts (using unzip) the zip file into that directory, ignoring all paths (the -j flag tells unzip to junk paths).

EDIT

Per your comment, here is a way to do it without system calls:

def unzip(file)
  Zip::ZipFile.open(file) do |zipfile|
    to = File.join(File.dirname(file), File.basename(file, ".*"))
    FileUtils.mkdir(to) unless File.exists? to
    zipfile.each do |f|
      if f.file? # Don't extract directories
        fpath = File.join(to, File.basename(f.name))
        zipfile.extract(f, fpath) unless File.exists?(fpath)
      end
    end
  end
end
