Hello guys
After figuring out a way to load my db with info scraped of from a web
page, the data on db is appended with "--- \n -" these characters. I'm
not sure what the problem is.. I did change my editor to xcode.

I have attached my app's
- migration file
- the method that is called to populate the database
- the output on rails server

You can see I'm specifically printing out the values like (eg:
[item[0]]) before assigning it to dts.bug_id or any other db row for
that matter. I can see the printed value is fine but after storing on
the database they are being appended with those junk characters.

Have anyone of you noticed this before. Am I doing something
wrong..please help !!
Thanks in advance -- Anush
