== Recipes for Filtering \CSV
These recipes are specific code examples for specific \CSV filtering tasks.
For other recipes, see {Recipes for CSV}[./recipes_rdoc.html].
All code snippets on this page assume that the following has been executed:
require 'csv'

=== Source and Output Formats
You can use a Unix-style "filter" for \CSV data.
The filter reads source \CSV data and writes output \CSV data as modified by the filter.
The input and output \CSV data may be any mixture of \Strings and \IO streams.
==== Filtering \String to \String
You can filter one \String to another, with or without headers.
===== Recipe: Filter \String to \String with Headers
Use class method CSV.filter with option +headers+ to filter a \String to another \String:
in_string = "Name,Value\nfoo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n"
out_string = ''
CSV.filter(in_string, out_string, headers: true) do |row|
row[0] = row[0].upcase
row[1] *= 4
end
out_string # => "Name,Value\nFOO,0000\nBAR,1111\nBAZ,2222\n"
===== Recipe: Filter \String to \String Without Headers
Use class method CSV.filter without option +headers+ to filter a \String to another \String:
in_string = "foo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n"
out_string = ''
CSV.filter(in_string, out_string) do |row|
row[0] = row[0].upcase
row[1] *= 4
end
out_string # => "FOO,0000\nBAR,1111\nBAZ,2222\n"
==== Filtering \String to \IO Stream
You can filter a \String to an \IO stream, with or without headers.
===== Recipe: Filter \String to \IO Stream with Headers
Use class method CSV.filter with option +headers+ to filter a \String to an \IO stream:
in_string = "Name,Value\nfoo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n"
path = 't.csv'
File.open(path, 'w') do |out_io|
CSV.filter(in_string, out_io, headers: true) do |row|
row[0] = row[0].upcase
row[1] *= 4
end
end
p File.read(path) # => "Name,Value\nFOO,0000\nBAR,1111\nBAZ,2222\n"
===== Recipe: Filter \String to \IO Stream Without Headers
Use class method CSV.filter without option +headers+ to filter a \String to an \IO stream:
in_string = "foo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n"
path = 't.csv'
File.open(path, 'w') do |out_io|
CSV.filter(in_string, out_io) do |row|
row[0] = row[0].upcase
row[1] *= 4
end
end
p File.read(path) # => "FOO,0000\nBAR,1111\nBAZ,2222\n"
==== Filtering \IO Stream to \String
You can filter an \IO stream to a \String, with or without headers.
===== Recipe: Filter \IO Stream to \String with Headers
Use class method CSV.filter with option +headers+ to filter an \IO stream to a \String:
in_string = "Name,Value\nfoo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n"
path = 't.csv'
File.write(path, in_string)
out_string = ''
File.open(path, headers: true) do |in_io|
CSV.filter(in_io, out_string, headers: true) do |row|
row[0] = row[0].upcase
row[1] *= 4
end
end
out_string # => "Name,Value\nFOO,0000\nBAR,1111\nBAZ,2222\n"
===== Recipe: Filter \IO Stream to \String Without Headers
Use class method CSV.filter without option +headers+ to filter an \IO stream to a \String:
in_string = "foo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n"
path = 't.csv'
File.write(path, in_string)
out_string = ''
File.open(path) do |in_io|
CSV.filter(in_io, out_string) do |row|
row[0] = row[0].upcase
row[1] *= 4
end
end
out_string # => "FOO,0000\nBAR,1111\nBAZ,2222\n"
==== Filtering \IO Stream to \IO Stream
You can filter an \IO stream to another \IO stream, with or without headers.
===== Recipe: Filter \IO Stream to \IO Stream with Headers
Use class method CSV.filter with option +headers+ to filter an \IO stream to another \IO stream:
in_path = 't.csv'
in_string = "Name,Value\nfoo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n"
File.write(in_path, in_string)
out_path = 'u.csv'
File.open(in_path) do |in_io|
File.open(out_path, 'w') do |out_io|
CSV.filter(in_io, out_io, headers: true) do |row|
row[0] = row[0].upcase
row[1] *= 4
end
end
end
p File.read(out_path) # => "Name,Value\nFOO,0000\nBAR,1111\nBAZ,2222\n"
===== Recipe: Filter \IO Stream to \IO Stream Without Headers
Use class method CSV.filter without option +headers+ to filter an \IO stream to another \IO stream:
in_path = 't.csv'
in_string = "foo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n"
File.write(in_path, in_string)
out_path = 'u.csv'
File.open(in_path) do |in_io|
File.open(out_path, 'w') do |out_io|
CSV.filter(in_io, out_io) do |row|
row[0] = row[0].upcase
row[1] *= 4
end
end
end
p File.read(out_path) # => "FOO,0000\nBAR,1111\nBAZ,2222\n"
