To upload look at the paperclip plugin: http://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip Excel is a bit more tricky, if you are on windows you can automate it with win32ole: http://rubyonwindows.blogspot.com/2007/03/automating-excel-with-ruby.html If not you can try parseexcel http://www.codeweblog.com/parseexcel-ruby-used-to-read-excel/ I haven't had huge success with that though (images in files have caused problems for me) and I've tended to just get users to upload a csv instead and use the built in CSV or FasterCSV - there are some other options listed here: http://snippets.aktagon.com/snippets/246-How-to-parse-CSV-data-with-Ruby Kind Regards Luke -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
