Question

I am looking to export an array from my heroku console into a local CSV file.

In my current situation, I have a daily rake task which looks for tweets talking about my application. I’d like to analyse those tweets to see at what time they came in, etc:

heroku run console
tweets = Tweet.all
code to export tweets into a local CSV file goes here

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

You can’t access your local filesystem from the heroku console. One option is to use Tee. Tee sends the output to both STDOUT and a file, so you can have a local log of everything that was printed.

heroku run console | tee output.txt
