Question

I need some help with a Ruby script I can call from the console. The script needs to parse a simple .txt file with comma separated values.

value 1, value2, value3, etc...

The values needs to be added to the database.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

array = File.read("csv_file.txt").split(",").map(&:strip)

You will get the values in the array and use it to store to database. If you want more functions, you can make use of FasterCSV gem.
