Omitting a line from a CSV during Parse

Hello everyone,
I am very new to Ruby on Rails, and I am working on a project that
involves uploading a CSV and putting it in the database. It works great,
but I need to omit the first line of the CSV. My code looks likes this:

require ‘csv’

class ImportController < ApplicationController

def import

 currenttime = DateTime.now
 @parsed_file=CSV::Reader.parse(params[:dump][:file])
 n=0
 @parsed_file.each  do |row|
 c=Import.new

c.prov_info_fac=row[0]
c.prov_info_bac=row[4]
c.prov_info_datatype=row[2]

c.prov_service_name=row[1]
c.prov_service_number=row[3]
c.prov_service_provider=row[5]

c.prov_charges_tot_access=row[7]
c.prov_charges_tot_airtime=row[8]
c.prov_charges_tot_kb=row[9]
c.prov_charges_tot_messaging=row[10]

c.prov_charges_roam_taxes=row[38]
c.prov_charges_misc_voice=row[40]
c.prov_charges_misc_data=row[41]
c.prov_updated_date=currenttime

 if c.save
    n=n+1
    GC.start if n%50==0
 end
 flash.now[:message] = 'CSV Import Successful'

end

def delete
Import.destroy
redirect_to :action => ‘index’
end

end

Thanks for you help!!

Jeff,

Try the following - where you currently have this:

@parsed_file.each do |row|

end

Do this:

@parsed_file.each_with_index do |row, row_index|

next if (row_index == 0)

end

Thank you, sir! I ended up using @parsed_file.shift, which worked great.
