You can then use Ruby's CSV class from the standard library to process them: http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.2/libdoc/csv/rdoc/CSV.html Processing means going through each row and checking if the values match the search criteria. You could also use a "real" database system like PostgreSQL. But that would take quite some time to learn. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
