Need to parse csv files in ruby, skipping the first row (usually some header)?. Use FasterCSV. (Yes, its faster). Install it
$ sudo gem install fastercsv
Here is one solution
#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
require ‘rubygems’
require ‘faster_csv’
#put everything in an array
array_of_arrays = FasterCSV.read(”some_file.csv”)
# remove headers
array_of_arrays.slice!(0)
array_of_arrays.each{|row|
puts row
}
Another solution is
#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
require ‘rubygems’
require ‘faster_csv’
# setting the headers option [...]
