Primarily because this is a budget application I'm writing and the data coming from Accounts Payable (.csv files) need to be read in and then massaged some before moving it into the database. A lot of the massaging relates to categorizing transactions and associating other information with a record that isn't a part of the original input file. So, I'm manually parsing this data into an array for active record column attribute assignment and the like. Unless fasterCSV reads a file in for me and give me the data in an array I can use in my model or controller for further processing, it doesn't fit my needs. So forgive my ignorance if it does do this and I'm simply not aware. However, if it does, then woohoo and I'll be pulling down the gem pronto. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
