Hi Kranthi,

I just need to print out the first column of each row  and here are what 
I get(only show two, first column of row 1 and row 2):

#<CSV::Cell:0x28297c0 @is_null=false, @data="Frontside">

#<CSV::Cell:0x28284b0 @is_null=false, @data="A001:The new student was 
visibly abashed when the teacher scolded him in front of the class for 
reaching late.">


but what I actually need is

Frontside

A001:The new student was visibly abashed when the teacher scolded him in 
front of the class for reaching late

I am not sure why I can't print out the part I need.

Thanks,

Li
