Per the documentation, you can probably do something like this:
file = params[:file]
CSV.open(file.tempfile, "rb:UTF-32BE:UTF-8", {:headers => false, :col_sep =>
";"}) do |row|
@newhash << {:var1 => row[0], :var2 => row[1]}
end
Replace "UTF-32BE" with your incoming encoding and "UTF-8" with the encoding
you want to parse/store your data in.
