Subject: problem with zipfile.read -> array  (line by line)

Hi,

have anybody a hint how i could extract information  only for the
first column in a zipped csv.
The hole csv-file is in the array instead line by line as i'm
expected, so i get only the first
character.

#match_f.csv are 3-column and many millions row file.
Zip::ZipFile.open("f:/base_data/match_df.zip",Zip::ZipFile::CREATE)
{  |zipfile|
 array=zipfile.read("match_df.csv" ).split("\t")
puts array[0]
   }

many thanks for advance
Christian
