I''m working on an app that includes the feature to allow user to download a csv file of their data. I''ve got it working on my local machine, but when I deploy it, the link I''m making doesn''t work for doing the download. The file IS being created in the location I''m intending, but the file download only works on my local machine and not on the server.

Hello all, I''m trying to import some csv data (that has latin characters) using faster csv but I keep getting a MalformedCSVError: "Unclosed quoted field on line 1."

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

I am using fastercsv to process input files. I want to install it into my app/vendor directory as a gem (I guess). I used ''rake rails:freeze:gems'' to get rails into the vender dir. But I cannot find any doc on how to do it for fastercsv or any third-party gem. Any help appreciated. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m using fastercsv such that in my rake file I''m doing this. require ''fastercsv'' It works fine on my Mac. I need to freeze this gem into the app though so my rake tasks work on the production machine. ----------- I spent about two hours though this weekend trying to get this Gem "frozen" into the vendor/gems folder. I tried all sorts, I ... -

For some reason, I''ve posted this question to this forum 4 times now and it never appears in the daily consolidated email I get daily? I''ve written a routine allowing the client user to declare where their .csv import file resides and then send it to the server to import the many rows into an existing model table, and then throw it away. I''ve imported many graphic files

I''m trying to display a generated .png plot via send_data(), but it results in a server error "invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII" error. I''m pretty sure this means that I need to specify the encoding somewhere, but I haven''t been able to figure out where or how to do so. Some particulars: I''m running gnuplot through a pipe to generate a plot in .png

Short question: is there way to tell EM to actually send data after send_data call? I''m building a file transferring app. I send Mashal.dump''ed metadata first, and then - the file contents (chunked). I found a silly bug: receive_data() gets marshalled metadata and the first chunk of the file in a single variable. Like that: c1.send_data("meta")

All, This may be a gem question (not rails) but I feel sure 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. My

Hello Everybody, I picked up on the buzz about RoR and wanted to see what the fuss is about. So far i am very impressed but have hit a bit of a wall with a little play app i am writting. I want to iterate through a CSV file of my bank transactions and see just how much money i spend on beer and pies every month. I have successfully setup a database with a single table called transactions

I am using eventmachine 0.8.1 on windows XP and am having very odd problems. This snippet of code gives the error that follows it. class EchoServer def receive_data data puts data send_data ">>>you sent: #{data}" if data =~ /quit/i puts "quitting" close_connection EventMachine::stop_event_loop end end end

Hello Guys, May be it is simply but any way.... fasterCSV 1.2.0 how to load data from file to table :( I have tried this: file has just one line 1,2,3 data = FCSV.read("C:\\temp_file.csv") table = FCSV.parse(data, :headers => true) puts "data overview" puts data puts "table overview" puts table but got very strange error: undefined method

I have a csv file and in my controller: uploaded_file = params[:upload][:csv].read @rows << FasterCSV.parse(uploaded_file) I want to put in @rows only the first 10 lines but the read method reads all the file.

Hi, I''ve been moving my app from my development environment (my laptop running OSX) to my test environment (a dedicated Debian box in a datacentre somewhere).
