Help with fastercsv

Rails
1

Hi,

I have this line in a csv file ==> Rüti,CH
and Fastercsv takes them as one and not as separate strings.
Other entries are ok except for this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
franee

Have you tried eliminating the punctuation? Just to see if it would
make a
difference?

Hi,

sorry for the late update.

I tried removing the unicode character and it works fine.

Are you sure this is the problem?

If you want to see the character as it was, you can set Ruby’s $KCODE
variable before processing:

Hope this helps.

Thanks:) it was the file not being encoded in utf8 that was the source
of the problem. It took awhile to figure out since it was correctly
displaying unicode characters even with the ascii setting in notepad++.

Works smoothly now:) thanks:)
