Add image to CSV file

Rails
1

I am trying to generate a report from my rails app which needs a photo
displayed for each record. This anyone know what the best way is to do
this or if it is possible?

Ive searched the forums and the net but cant find any examples,

So you’re wanting to add binary data to a plain text CSV file?

I don’t think that’s possible as-is, since CSV is meant for text
storage, and not binary/blob stuff.

What you can do, is put a filesystem path into the csv and use that
wherever you’re parsing the CSV.

I though so, basically i need to generate a spreadsheet that will
contain records from a model and the appropriate photo embedded into the
spreadsheet for each record.

This spreadsheet will be ultimately opened by the user in MS excel.

Whats the best solution for this, Is there any ruby libraries that will
do this?

Any advice appreciated,
