Body
Say for instance you wanted to parse all charities in the IRS txt file that is pipe delimited. Say you had a model called Charity that had all the same fields as your pipe delimited file. <pre><code>class Charity < ActiveRecord::Base # http://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/forwardToPub78DownloadLayout.do # http://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/forwardToPub78Download.do attr_accessible :city, :country, :deductibility_status, :deductibility_status_description, :ein, :legal_name, :state end </code></pre> You can make a rake task called import.rake <pre><code>namespace :import do desc "Import Pipe Delimted IRS 5013c Data " task :irs_data => :environment do require 'csv' txt_file_path = 'db/irs_5013cs.txt' results = File.open(txt_file_path).readlines do |line| line = line.split('|').each_slice(7) end # Order Field Notes # 1 EIN Required # 2 Legal Name Optional # 3 City Optional # 4 State Optional # 5 Deductibility Status Optional # 6 Country Optional - If Country is null, then Country is assumed to be United States # 7 Deductibility Status Description Optional results.each do |row| row = row.split('|').each_slice(7).to_a.first #ID,Category,Sub Category,State Standard Charity.create!({ :ein => row[0], :legal_name => row[1], :city => row[2], :state => row[3], :deductibility_status => row[4], :country => row[5], :deductibility_status_description => row[6] }) end end end </code></pre> finally you can run this import by typing following on command line from your rails app <pre><code> rake import:irs_data </code></pre>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
