How will you identify those paths?
Do you need to modify the file content IN the zip file? That implies extracting the file, modifying it, and putting it back in the same logical place in the zip file.
Will multiple zip files have identical content? If so, you need to process the zips one by one instead of first extracting them all and then processing the data.




Well guys.. as I said, the zip-thing isn't the most essential thing, so if i accomplish integrating the other part at first, I can work with implementing this as a "bonus". Anyway.. when using the potential zip-solution, relative paths isn't an issue. The zip-files to be processed will all be in one dir, there must be created dirs according to zip-name under this dir, then extract each zip into that dir.

The files that has been processed later in the script does NOT need to be zipped again afterwards.

I will now start working more intensively on the other part of the script, using (and looking at ) some of the solution you guys have mentioned.

Thanks for all help so far, and I will MOST certain be in need of more \:\)
