I''m trying to grab a CSV file from a user and let them upload it directly to my database, but doing some minor checks on the data before saving. Which is the easier way to implement this? CSV or FasterCSV? I saw that perhaps there were some issues with FasterCSV and csv files created from Mac versions of Excel. Anyone have any experience with this and can recommend a newbie friendly path? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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.

...ure 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.
