Hi All,

I have a csv file i need to upload and for each row check that a number of columns do not match a certain criteria

Is there a way I can do this in ruby?

Kind Regards

Yes of course. Start by working out how to upload the file. Google
rails file upload to get suggestions.

Yes.

Which bit are you stuck on? Uploading a file? Reading each row? or
Checking the certain criteria?

That should be much easier than uploading the file. I think some
basic Ruby tutorials would be in order (Ruby rather then Ruby on Rails
as this is a Ruby issue not a Rails one). You cannot develop a Rails
app without a good knowledge of Ruby.
