Option skip_blanks
¶ ↑
Specifies a boolean that determines whether blank lines in the input will be ignored; a line that contains a column separator is not considered to be blank.
Default value:
CSV::DEFAULT_OPTIONS.fetch(:skip_blanks) # => false
See also option skiplines.
For examples in this section:
str = <<-EOT foo,0 bar,1 baz,2 , EOT
Using the default, false
:
ary = CSV.parse(str) ary # => [["foo", "0"], [], ["bar", "1"], ["baz", "2"], [], [nil, nil]]
Using true
:
ary = CSV.parse(str, skip_blanks: true) ary # => [["foo", "0"], ["bar", "1"], ["baz", "2"], [nil, nil]]
Using a truthy value:
ary = CSV.parse(str, skip_blanks: :foo) ary # => [["foo", "0"], ["bar", "1"], ["baz", "2"], [nil, nil]]
