I have a bunch of csvs for schools that i need to build School objects out of and save. The format and arrangement of columns is different between them, but they all use the same column headers strings to represent the same thing. In other words, the order of columns is different and some have more than others. But they all have "Name" to represent the name of the school.
For example (the real data is tab-separated but i've used spaces here for clarity): file_a.csv Name Type Size Fake Hill Secondary 450 Brook Street Primary 300 file_b Size Name 450 Notting Hill 200 Camden Street is there an easy way to pull the data in, using the column headers to decide what attribute is being set by each number? So, that i could import from a bunch of files without having to manually associate the column index with what attribute it is setting, as long as the column names are consistent? thanks max -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
