Re: [PhillyOnRails] importing from csv

["Steve Eichert" <steve.eichert@gmail.com>]

I'm using FasterCSV [1] and just building my activerecord objects from the rows that it provides.  If you have a header it lets you access the column data by field name like so:

person = Person.new
p.first_name
 = row.fields(:first_name)
...
p.save

I found out about FasterCSV from this blog entry: http://www.luretanker.no/blog/2007/01/29/comma-separated-objects-csv-orm/
