information in once.
i have a button called EXPORT on my page when i clicked on this button
than i want to generate tab-delimited text file for every users
information.

I’m not sure why you’d want to provide this functionality but here’s a
stab at it (I’m sure someone will come up with something more elegant)

File.open(‘file.txt’, ‘a+’) { |f| User.find(:all).each { |u|
f.write(“#{u.login}\t#{u.email}\n”) } }

Install fastercsv gem. Then in your code:

require ‘fastercsv’

FasterCSV.generate(:col_sep => “\t”) {|csv| csv << [user_name,
last_login, etc.]}
