I am slowly working on a program where I ask a user for a selection, compare the selection to a file, then assign that selection(two pieces of information) to a variable to be used later. In your opinion should this data file be YAML, csv, or something else? I am only looking at less than 100 records. Thanks Michael -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
