Hi all, I can't seem to figure this out and I would appreciate any help.
I have a ruby script that I want to cron on a server. This script will
scrape data from a website and then insert the data into a MySQL
database.
I have successfully scrapped the data however I cannot figure out how to
insert the data into the MySQL database
From command prompt I figured out that that this is the syntax to insert
a file into a database:
mysql -u root -pqwerasdf ridespot --execute="LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE
"c:/new.txt\" INTO TABLE foo LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\m'"
How do I run this command in ruby?
I have already tried:
system "command"
and
'command'
But it doesn't work.
Thanks for your response!
