Extracting data from zip file in one directory to a different directory.

Montgomery, Nigel 
Hi there, I've tried several different ways to do the above (see attempts
below) and none have been successful. From my internet searches this would
appear to be a common problem.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

Attempt 1:
zip_file_loc <- "xx/yy/zipfile.zip"
data <- read_csv(unzip(zip_file_loc))

ERROR: error 1 in extracting from zip file

Attempt 2:
temp <- tempfile()
temp <- "xx/yy/zipfile.zip"
unzip(temp)

ERROR: error 1 in extracting from zip file

Regards, Nigel.
