Rails 3.1.3 I am trying to import CSV file and upload database accordingly. the view is the following. <%= form_tag( { :action => "import_csvdata"}, :html => { :multipart => true }) do |f| %> <label for="file"> Select a CSV File : </label> <%= file_field_tag :file %> <%= submit_tag ''Submit'', :class => ''btn btn-large btn-success'' %> <% end %> the controller is, def import_csvdata if request.post? && params[:file].present? infile = params[:file].read ####<===HERE!!!!! n, errs = 0, [] CSV.parse(infile) do |row| n += 1 # SKIP: header i.e. first row OR blank row next if n == 1 or row.join.blank? @departure = Departure.find_or_create_by_city(row[2]) @destination = Destination.find_or_create_by_city(row[3]) @airline = Airline.find_or_create_by_company(row[0]) @flight_name = FlightName.new(:name => row[1], :airline_id => @airline.id, :departure_id => @departure.id, :destination_id => @destination.id) @flight_name.save end end redirect_to airlines_url end raises an error undefined method `read'' for "first_test.csv":String Do I need to ''open'' the file? But I searched the web, and it doesn''t seem like it. Could anyone suggest a solution to this problem? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
