OK. I misinterpreted your code... Try:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
IAm=${0##*/}	# Save last component of script name for diagnostics

var_dir="/root/Documents/test"
if [ -d "$var_dir" ]	# Exit if target directory does not exist.
then	printf '%s: Directory %s not found.' "$IAm" "$var_dir" >&2
	exit 1
fi

# Prompt for, get, and verify ZIP filename...
printf 'Enter name of file to be unzipped (with or without .zip extension): '
read var_name 
var_base=${var_name%.zip}
if [ ! -r "$var_base".zip ]
then	printf '%s: %s not found or not readable.' "$IAm" "$var_base".zip >&2
	exit 2
fi

# Unzip the named file into the target directory and move the file extracted
# from that archive with the extension ".c" in place of ".zip" for the archive
# to have the extension ".d" instead of ".c".
unzip -o "$var_base".zip -d "$var_dir" || exit 3
cd "$var_dir" || exit 4	# Exit if we can't get into our target directory
mv "$var_base".c "$var_base".d || exit 5

# Update the configfile.
ed -s configfile.txt <<-"EOF" || exit 6
	g/#SOMETHING="none"/s//SOMETHING="none"/
	w
	1,$p
	q
EOF

# Restart...
service something restart

The function zip_add adds a file to a zip archive, while zip_replace replaces an existing file in a zip archive. The argument archive specifies the zip archive to which the file should be added. name is the file's name in the zip archive (for zip_add ), while index speci- fies which file should be replaced (for zip_replace ). The data is obtained from the source argument. See the zip_source_* functions cited in SEE ALSO. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, zip_add returns the index of the new file in the archive, and zip_replace returns 0. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the error code in archive is set to indicate the error. EXAMPLES
struct zip_source *s; if ((s=zip_source_buffer(archive, buffer, len)) == NULL || zip_add(archive, name, s) 0) { zip_source_free(s); printf("error adding file: %s0, zip_strerror(archive)); } ERRORS
