Hi
Thanks for your kind response, Frederick. I have finally sort it out. It was
my csv file which was in UTF-61le format, I made a new file with UITF-8
format and that worked as the way I wanted.
One more thing I wants to ask that is, I am getting the string now in
this format - :name => "'Uploaded item number 1'" instead of :name =>
"Uploaded item number 1", and because of this the field that is being saved
in the column name is: 'Uploaded item number 1' instead of Uploaded item
number 1. how do I remove this quote ( ' ) ? Any idea?
