Forum: Ruby Modifying cell value in csv without FasterCsv

Guys,

Below is the content of my csv file

Name   Rank
Antony  10
Mark    12

I have to change the rank value of Antony alone. Headers should not be
affected.I ll be happy of you people come out with solution and snippet.

Note:

without usage of fastercsv. only standard csv should be used.

ruby version: 1.8

Read each row of your csv file, and write out each row--incorporating
any changes--to another file.  Delete the original file, then rename the
new file to the old file name.

For most purposes, files can be considered as unchangeable.

Hi 7stud,

1.8.7 :005 > require 'csv'
 => true
1.8.7 :006 > CSV
 => CSV
