Open a file for writing, use a CSV library to read the CSV file, write  
each record as HTML to the opened file (potentially using another  
library, e.g. CGI or ERB) and be done. What did you try so far?

Cheers

You open your favorite text editor or IDE and type in all the commands  
you need (i.e. as I indicated earlier) to get the program completed.

This is a public forum denoted to the _discussion_ of Ruby topics - not  
a free implementation service. If you need introductory material I  
suggest you explicitly ask for it.
