Rails - Jan 2012 - Skipping the First Line when reading in a text file

I''m using ruby''s File to open and read in a text file inside
of a rake
task. Is there a setting where I can specify that I want the first line of
the file skipped?

Here''s my code so far:

desc "Import users."
  task :import_users => :environment do
    File.open("users.txt", "r", ''\r'').each
do |line|
      id, name, age, email = line.strip.split('','')
      u = User.new(:id => id, :name => name, :age => age, :email =>
email)
      u.save
    end
  end

Thanks,

Andrew

This is by no means a RoR question. But the solution is pretty simple, so 
I''ll give in.

One way to do it would be to just put "next if line.lineno == 1" at
the
beginning of the loop.

I am using csv...

it is work:

if you are interested try this way:

require ''csv''

reader = CSV.open("file_location", "r")
reader.shift # this line is used to skipped first header line
reader.each{|row|
 first_field = row[0]
 second_field = row[1]

 Module_Name.create(
  :attribute1 => first_field,
  :attribute2 => second_field
  )
}

Bye:)

I don''t know if CSV has the option, but FasterCSV has an option you can
pass to inform it that the first line is the header row and it will skip it
automatically...
