Hey you can use faster csv instead using the standard csv ruby library.
Anyways the answer to your question is as below
CSV::Reader.parse(File.open('/root/Desktop/lukcy.csv', 'rb')) do |row|
 p.row
end
This reads the entire row form the csv file.When you need a specific row to
be rread you can use the foreach iterator or something like row[0] which
returns the entire first column elements.
