Hi Marvin,

Thanks for the quick reply.  I installed fastercsv using the command you 
described and there were no issues, so it seems to have installed 
propertly.

Next, I wrote the following code:

require "rubygems"
csvData = FasterCSV.read("./dataInput3.csv")
myString = csvData[0][0]
puts myString


When I run "ruby -cw fasterCSV.rb" I get syntax ok.
However, when I run the script I get an error that states "uninitialized 
constant FasterCSV (NameError)"

Is there anything special I need to do to initialize the class?

Thanks,

Frank
