Get In That DB! Parsing CSV Using Ruby...
- by keruilin
I have a CSV file formatted just like this:
name,color,tasty,qty
apple,red,true,3
orange,orange,false,4
pear,greenish-yellowish,true,1
As you can see, each column in the Ruby OO world represents a mix of types -- string, string, boolean, int.
Now, ultimately, I want to parse each line in the file, determine the appropriate type, and insert that row into a database via a Rails migration. For ex:
Fruit.create(:name => 'apple', :color => 'red', :tasty => true, :qty => 3)
Help!
