Hi All, I've got a basic Rails app started. One wrinkle is that the user wants ideally to be able to browse the files system (a la Windows Explorer) to select a file and initiate the importation of data from the file.
All files selected will be of a predetermined fixed format, e.g. CSV with Name, Address, etc. It seems to me that the browser is isolated from the file system, albeit Rails' internals know how to get to it. Is there a way to implement the above-described functionality in a Rails app? Can YAML be used for such functionality? The only approach I see right now is a Ruby database-updater using perhaps Active Record with ar-extensions or Active Scaffold. Any guidance would be most appreciated.
