module Zip::FileSystem
The ZipFileSystem API provides an API for accessing entries in a zip archive that is similar to ruby’s builtin File
and Dir classes.
Requiring ‘zip/filesystem’ includes this module in Zip::File
making the methods in this module available on Zip::File
objects.
Using this API the following example creates a new zip file my.zip
containing a normal entry with the name first.txt
, a directory entry named mydir
and finally another normal entry named second.txt
require 'zip/filesystem' Zip::File.open("my.zip", Zip::File::CREATE) { |zipfile| zipfile.file.open("first.txt", "w") { |f| f.puts "Hello world" } zipfile.dir.mkdir("mydir") zipfile.file.open("mydir/second.txt", "w") { |f| f.puts "Hello again" } }
Reading is as easy as writing, as the following example shows. The example writes the contents of first.txt
from zip archive my.zip
to standard out.
require 'zip/filesystem' Zip::File.open("my.zip") { |zipfile| puts zipfile.file.read("first.txt") }
