How do I use fastercsv to just read the header row and not the whole file? I need to read the header row first and not the whole csv file initially in the web application so I can map the input csv columns to the db columns. Once the mapping is complete, a rake task will than process the whole file. I don’t want to read the whole file to save processing time. How do I just read the header row

For some reason, I''ve posted this question to this forum 4 times now and it never appears in the daily consolidated email I get daily? I''ve written a routine allowing the client user to declare where their .csv import file resides and then send it to the server to import the many rows into an existing model table, and then throw it away.

Hello Everybody, I picked up on the buzz about RoR and wanted to see what the fuss is about. So far i am very impressed but have hit a bit of a wall with a little play app i am writting. I want to iterate through a CSV file of my bank transactions and see just how much money i spend on beer and pies every month. I have successfully setup a database with a single table called transactions

I''m using FasterCSV to upload some csv files and create some records based off the data in the CSV files. I''m pretty sure the problem is a character encoding issue because the CSV is full of French and German words. If I remove all the accents off the letters, then it uploads fine, otherwise it just throws a FasterCSV::MalformedCSVError. jeremy-woertinks-imac:winovations

Hello, my goal is to import data into a MySQL-Database using FasterCSV: Does anyone have an idea how I can force FasterCSV to ignore carriage returns that occur within(!) a database text field and to read until "line feed" = end or row is reached? I tried to use option ":row_sep" but it did not work, it still uses the returns within the text field as end of row, too:

When I pass :headers => true to FasterCSV.foreach it complains. Without it it works. Am I doing something wrong? FasterCSV.foreach(file, {:row_sep => :auto, :col_sep => "\t", :quote_char => "~", :return_headers => false, :headers => true}) do |row| -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is there a way to write a csv file using a hash instead of an array?

Hi, So I''m new to RoR and have been playing around with the FasterCSV gem. One thing I can''t figure out is how you get it to skip multiple header rows. I can do one row no problem.

All, This may be a gem question (not rails) but I feel sure someone else on this list has seen this issue go by. I use a hosting service that has ROR available, but I am among the few developers using it. I am developing on a local linux box, and have been very careful to NOT use any extra gems because I might have a problem with my provider. Well ... fastercsv rocks and I wanted to use it. My
