move a csv file in ruby

To move a CSV file in Ruby, you can use the FileUtils module which comes with Ruby's standard library. You can require the module with require 'fileutils'.

Once you have required the module, you can use the mv method to move the CSV file to another location. Here is an example code block that shows how to move a CSV file from one directory to another:

main.rb
require 'fileutils'

# specify the path to the file you want to move
file_to_move = 'path/to/your/file.csv'

# specify the path and filename for the new location of the file
new_path = 'path/to/your/new/location/file.csv'

# use the FileUtils module to move the file
FileUtils.mv(file_to_move, new_path)

puts "File moved!"
324 chars
13 lines

In the code above, we first require the fileutils module, then specify the path to the CSV file that we want to move, as well as the new location and filename for the moved file. Finally, we call the mv method from the FileUtils module to move the file, and print a message to the console to confirm that the operation was successful.

Note that if the directory for the new location of the file does not exist, the mv method will automatically create it for you.
