Rails - Feb 2006 - Upload Text File into a string

I''m trying to upload a text file from a form and read the file into a 
string in my rails app. I''ve tried using @import_file = 
File.read(params[:import_file]) as well as File.open, but I need getting 
"cannot convert StringIO into String" errors. Anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried

@import_file = params[''import_file''].read
