Try

require 'zip/zip'

Zip::ZipFile.open("my.zip", Zip::ZipFile::CREATE) {|zipfile|  puts zipfile.read("first.txt")}

I think this should work:

require 'zipruby'

Zip::Archive.open('archive.zip') do |ar|
   ar.fopen('article.txt') do |f|
      content = f.read
      # do sth
   end
end

Zip::ZipFile.new("archive.zip").read("article.txt")
