If you mean the console, take a look at: http://ascii85.rubyforge.org/

A method of solution is perfect if we can forsee from the start,
and even prove, that following that method we shall attain our aim.

Thanks,

But not on the console.

I parser some data and output file is .csv.

On the csv file (open by excel) I want to use color to mark some

cell.

Does can work?

require ‘fastercsv’

FasterCSV.parse(my_string, :headers => true) do |row|
Fruit.create!(
:name => row[‘name’],
:color => row[‘color’],
:tasty => row[‘tasty’] == ‘true’,
:qty => row['qty].to_i
)
end

For Ruby 1.9, just rename FasterCSV to CSV and fastercsv to csv:

require ‘csv’

CSV.parse(my_string, :headers => true) do |row|

same as ruby-1.8

end

so you must need fastercsv gem if you install then it is possible

No: RFC 4180 - Common Format and MIME Type for Comma-Separated Values (CSV) Files

You’d’ve to create a spreadsheet for that, and maybe the spreadsheet
gem can pull that off for you (I haven’t used it). If you are certain
that the Excel installation being used can read ODF files, you can try
[Open|Libre]Office’s spreadsheet format (Though, AFAIK, Excel versions
before 2007 require a plugin for that), or create an Excel
spreadsheet.
