How to update one file located in a zip subdirectory?

Question

I have a zip archive that contains several folders and I need to update one specific file within such a folder.

How can I update the file with a command line? I have already tried

7z u my.zip ./folder/text.file

But that places the file into the zip's root.

Also

zip -u my.zip ./folder/text.file

doesn't seem to do anything.

Thanks!

I think the relative path needs to be the same within the zip and with the directory structure on the file system, from the current directory. Is that the case? — pjc50, Commented Apr 18, 2012 at 13:32
Ah, it should be 7z u my.zip ./ - that solved the problem. Do you want to add an answer, so I can accept it? — Force, Commented Apr 18, 2012 at 13:37
