Doctordata

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'doctordata'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install doctordata

Create csv text like below:

csv_str = <<EOS
keyA,#commentB,keyC[0],keyC[1]
a1,b1,c11,c12
a2,b2,c21,c22
EOS

Then, parse this to a hash.

Doctordata::Parser.from_csv_str(csv_str)
# => [{"keyA"=>"a1", "keyC"=>["c11", "c12"]}, {"keyA"=>"a2", "keyC"=>["c21", "c22"]}]

You can write keys in the header as www form. If the key starts with #, it will be ignored.

You also parse an xlsx file:

Doctordata::Parser.from_excel(excel_file_or_path)
# => { "Sheet1" => [{"keyA"=>"a1", "keyC"=>["c11", "c12"]}, {"keyA"=>"a2", "keyC"=>["c21", "c22"]}] }

The result is a Hash. Top level key is sheet name, and value is array as same as csv example.

It skips if the sheet name starts with #.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
