If you're using a CSV parser and you are having to manually translate  
the quote, the data probably isn't really CSV data.  If you just have  
a bunch of fields separated by comma (and they may have quotes in  
them), you don't need a CSV parser at all:

   fields = line.split(",")

To answer your question though, you can remove quotes with:

   line.delete!('"')

Check to be sure that the file data actually is UTF-8 encoded and that  
your database tables are setup for that encoding.

Hope that helps.
