Question

This is working fine but my question is, how do I extract the zip file’s content into a different directory?

require 'rubygems'
require 'zip/zip'

Zip::ZipFile.open("j.zip") do |zipfile|
    zipfile.each do |file|
    file.extract
    end
end

Change the Working Directory

There may be other ways to address this issue, but one of the most obvious is to change the current working directory with Dir#chdir. For example, to extract your files into /tmp:

old_pwd = Dir.pwd
Dir.chdir '/tmp'
# run your commands here
