CSV::Row
A CSV::Row instance represents a CSV table row. (see class CSV).
The instance may have:
-
Fields: each is an object, not necessarily a String.
-
Headers: each serves a key, and also need not be a String.
Instance Methods
CSV::Row has three groups of instance methods:
-
Its own internally defined instance methods.
-
Methods included by module
Enumerable
. -
Methods delegated to class
Array
.:
Creating a CSV::Row Instance
Commonly, a new CSV::Row instance is created by parsing CSV source that has headers:
source = "Name,Value\nfoo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n" table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true) table.each {|row| p row }
Output:
#<CSV::Row "Name":"foo" "Value":"0"> #<CSV::Row "Name":"bar" "Value":"1"> #<CSV::Row "Name":"baz" "Value":"2">
You can also create a row directly. See ::new
.
Headers
Like a CSV::Table, a CSV::Row has headers.
A CSV::Row that was created by parsing CSV source inherits its headers from the table:
source = "Name,Value\nfoo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n" table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true) row = table.first row.headers # => ["Name", "Value"]
You can also create a new row with headers; like the keys in a Hash, the headers need not be Strings:
row = CSV::Row.new([:name, :value], ['foo', 0]) row.headers # => [:name, :value]
The new row retains its headers even if added to a table that has headers:
table << row # => #<CSV::Table mode:col_or_row row_count:5> row.headers # => [:name, :value] row[:name] # => "foo" row['Name'] # => nil
Accessing Fields
You may access a field in a CSV::Row with either its Integer index (Array-style) or its header (Hash-style).
Fetch a field using method []
:
row = CSV::Row.new(['Name', 'Value'], ['foo', 0]) row[1] # => 0 row['Value'] # => 0
row = CSV::Row.new(['Name', 'Value'], ['foo', 0]) row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"foo" "Value":0> row[0] = 'bar' row['Value'] = 1 row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"bar" "Value":1>
Internal data format used to compare equality.
# File tmp/rubies/ruby-3.3.0/lib/csv/row.rb, line 105
def initialize(headers, fields, header_row = false)
@header_row = header_row
headers.each { |h| h.freeze if h.is_a? String }
# handle extra headers or fields
@row = if headers.size >= fields.size
headers.zip(fields)
else
fields.zip(headers).each(&:reverse!)
end
end
Returns the new CSV::Row instance constructed from arguments headers
and fields
; both should be Arrays; note that the fields need not be Strings:
row = CSV::Row.new(['Name', 'Value'], ['foo', 0]) row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"foo" "Value":0>
If the Array lengths are different, the shorter is nil
-filled:
row = CSV::Row.new(['Name', 'Value', 'Date', 'Size'], ['foo', 0]) row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"foo" "Value":0 "Date":nil "Size":nil>
Each CSV::Row object is either a field row or a header row; by default, a new row is a field row; for the row created above:
row.field_row? # => true row.header_row? # => false
If the optional argument header_row
is given as true
, the created row is a header row:
row = CSV::Row.new(['Name', 'Value'], ['foo', 0], header_row = true) row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"foo" "Value":0> row.field_row? # => false row.header_row? # => true

def <<(arg)
if arg.is_a?(Array) and arg.size == 2 # appending a header and name
@row << arg
elsif arg.is_a?(Hash) # append header and name pairs
arg.each { |pair| @row << pair }
else # append field value

end

end
Adds a field to self
; returns self
:
If the argument is a 2-element Array [header, value]
, a field is added with the given header
and value
:
source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n" table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true) row = table[0] row << ['NAME', 'Bat'] row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"Foo" "Name":"Bar" "Name":"Baz" "NAME":"Bat">
If the argument is a Hash, each key-value
pair is added as a field with header key
and value value
.
source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n" table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true) row = table[0] row << {NAME: 'Bat', name: 'Bam'} row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"Foo" "Name":"Bar" "Name":"Baz" NAME:"Bat" name:"Bam">
Otherwise, the given value
is added as a field with no header.
source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n" table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true) row = table[0] row << 'Bag' row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"Foo" "Name":"Bar" "Name":"Baz" nil:"Bag">

Assigns the field value for the given index
or header
; returns value
.
Assign field value by Integer index:
source = "Name,Value\nfoo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n" table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true) row = table[0] row[0] = 'Bat' row[1] = 3 row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"Bat" "Value":3>
Counts backward from the last column if index
is negative:
row[-1] = 4 row[-2] = 'Bam' row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"Bam" "Value":4>
Extends the row with nil:nil
if positive index
is not in the row:
row[4] = 5 row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"bad" "Value":4 nil:nil nil:nil nil:5>
Raises IndexError
if negative index
is too small (too far from zero).
Assign field value by header (first found):
source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n" table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true) row = table[0] row['Name'] = 'Bat' row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"Bat" "Name":"Bar" "Name":"Baz">
Assign field value by header, ignoring offset
leading fields:
source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n" table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true) row = table[0] row['Name', 2] = 4 row # => #<CSV::Row "Name":"Foo" "Name":"Bar" "Name":4>
Append new field by (new) header:
source = "Name,Value\nfoo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n" table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true) row = table[0] row['New'] = 6 row# => #<CSV::Row "Name":"foo" "Value":"0" "New":6>

end
Removes a specified field from self
; returns the 2-element Array [header, value]
if the field exists.
If an Integer argument index
is given, removes and returns the field at offset index
, or returns nil
if the field does not exist:
source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n" table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true) row = table[0] row.delete(1) # => ["Name", "Bar"] row.delete(50) # => nil
Otherwise, if the single argument header
is given, removes and returns the first-found field with the given header, of returns a new empty Array if the field does not exist:
source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n" table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true) row = table[0] row.delete('Name') # => ["Name", "Foo"] row.delete('NAME') # => []
If argument header
and Integer argument offset
are given, removes and returns the first-found field with the given header whose index
is at least as large as offset
:
source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n" table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true) row = table[0] row.delete('Name', 1) # => ["Name", "Bar"] row.delete('NAME', 1) # => []

Removes fields from self

Finds and returns the object in nested object that is specified by index_or_header
and specifiers
.
The nested objects may be instances of various classes. See Dig Methods.
Examples:
source = "Name,Value\nfoo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n" table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true) row = table[0] row.dig(1) # => "0" row.dig('Value') # => "0" row.dig(5) # => nil

:
source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n" table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true) row = table[0] row.each {|header, value| p [header, value] }
Output:
["Name", "Foo"] ["Name", "Bar"] ["Name", "Baz"]
If no block is given, returns a new Enumerator:

Raises exception KeyError
if the header does not exist.

With argument header
and a block given, returns the field value for the header (first found) if the header exists; otherwise calls the block and returns its return value:

Returns field values per the given specifiers
, which may be any mixture of:
-
Integer index.
-
Range of Integer indexes.
-
2-element Array containing a header and offset.
-
Header.
-
Range of headers.
For specifier
in one of the first four cases above, returns the result of self.field(specifier)
; see field
.
Although there may be any number of specifiers
, the examples here will illustrate one at a time.
When the specifier is an Integer index
, returns self.field(index)
L
source = "Name,Name,Name\nFoo,Bar,Baz\n" table = CSV.parse(source, headers: true) row = table[0] row.fields(1) # => ["Bar"]
When the specifier is a Range of Integers range
, returns self.field(range)

When the specifier is a header header
, returns self.field(header)
L

When the specifier is a Range of headers range
, forms a new Range new_range
from the indexes of range.start
and range.end
, and returns self.field(new_range)
