From: Rajarshi Chakravarty Date: 2010-12-04T16:38:38+09:00 Subject: purging non ascii chars Hi, I read records from a text file and insert them in the DB. Sometimes the data contains non ascii characters and I want to keep these out of the DB. How can I cleanse them and where? I mean should it be done while reading data or has ActiveRecord got any feature to do it? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
