What's this?

generate_row(src, cells, out_dev, fs = nil, rs = nil) public

Convert a line from cells data to string. Consider using CSV.generate_line instead. To generate multi-row CSV string, see EXAMPLE below.

EXAMPLE

  row1 = ['a', 'b']
  row2 = ['c', 'd']
  row3 = ['e', 'f']
  src = [row1, row2, row3]
  buf = ''
  src.each do |row|
    parsed_cells = CSV.generate_row(row, 2, buf)
    puts "Created #{ parsed_cells } cells."
  end
  p buf

ARGS

  src: an Array of String to be converted to CSV string.  Must respond to
    'size' and '[](idx)'.  src[idx] must return String.
  cells: num of cells in a line.
  out_dev: buffer for generated CSV string.  Must respond to '<<(string)'.
  col_sep: Column separator.  ?, by default.  If you want to separate
    fields with semicolon, give ?; here.
  row_sep: Row separator.  nil by default.  nil means "\r\n or \n".  If you
    want to separate records with \r, give ?\r here.

RETURNS

  parsed_cells: num of converted cells.
