Hi All, now i am facing one new problem, the problem is i have to check a specified directory for any number of files that the program will read and load into the database one file at a time. when the program finishes a file it should place the file in an archive directory. The program should also keep a log of it''s activity along with it;s errors. so, for this i have created one directory called sampledb("#{RAILS_ROOT}/sampledb"), inside the db contains many files, so if N number of files is there in the sense, i should read the file and write into the database, but i don''t know how to write the data into the database, so if any one knows, i need the idea how to implement the task, or please let me know any related site url, it would be great help for me, thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

logger = Logger.new("loggfile.log") # open a logger if you are not inside a controller begin dir = Dir.new("#{RAILS_ROOT}/sampledb") dir.each { |dEntryName| file = File.new(dEntryName) #open the current entry in the directory next unless file.stat.file? # check is this a directory if yes ignore it. myDatabaseTable = MyTable.new() #pass argument to new if any extra columns present in table myDatabaseTable.file_content = file.read # read all contents in file myDatabaseTable.save! } rescue Exception => e logger.error( e.message) #log what ever you want. return false # return if necessary or else forget it end I guess this solves your problem and i assumed MyTable is table where your going to put your content and column name i assume it as file_content, even you can save the file name inside the database, and (return false may not be necessary.) and also assuming you are using oracle db, and column type for file_content as either varchar2, or blob or which ever is suitable.
