Extract zip within a zip

Hi,

I've zip with in a zip. I want to extract the files from inner zip into the our zip.

Ex: outer.zip/temp1/inner.zip

I need to extract the files from inner.zip to out.zip/temp1 folder.

I am not intrested on creating intermediate folders to extract the content from inner.zip. Just want to use in-memory to do this job. It would be great, if I can do in bulk copy instead of one by one.

Please suggest if you have idea on this.

Thanks in advance,
MSR.

The only idea I have is that you should play around with the module to see if you can get it to do what you want - but you may not be able to avoid intermediary folder / file creation to actually achieve the desired end-goal.

Tried my level best for possible options, but unfortunately couldn't able to find solution. Pls suggest, if any other approach can provide a solution. Except intermediate folder creation and iteration process.

Thanks,

What if your outer.zip had a file called file1.txt, and then your inner.zip have a file called file1.txt --> are you going to overwrite the outer.zip file1.txt with the innert.zip file1.txt? Or will you append it? I was thinking you could load the extracted zip of inner.zip into memory, and then write it to file afterwards, but if you have many files, you're going to take up lots of memory and processing time.
