Here's some code I use in one of my apps. Stole most of it from some
examples I found somewhere, don't remember where:
class IncomingCSVFileHandler < ActionMailer::Base
def receive(email)
return unless email.has_attachments?
email.attachments.each do |attachment|
next unless attachment.original_filename[-4..-1] == '.csv'
CSV::Reader.parse(attachment.read) do |rec|
next if rec.last.blank?
server = Server.find_by_name(rec.last.split('-',
2).first.strip.upcase)
next if server.blank?
a = Answer.new
a.server = server
a.ticket_no = rec.first
a.question = rec[2]
a.answer = rec.last.split(' - ', 2).last
first_name, last_name = rec[3].split
a.created_by = User.find_by_name("#{last_name},
#{first_name}.titleize")
a.last_updated = Time.now
a.updated_by = a.created_by
a.save!
RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.info("Added answer record for #{server.name}")
end
end
end
def self.check_mail
begin
imap = Net::IMAP.new('130.102.202.121')
imap.login('userid', 'password')
imap.select('remedycsvfiles')
imap.search(["SINCE", Date.today.strftime("%d-%b-%Y")]
).each do |message_id|
msg = imap.fetch(message_id,'RFC822')[0].attr['RFC822']
IncomingCSVFileHandler.receive(msg)
#Mark message as deleted and it will be removed from storage
when user
#session closed
# imap.store(message_id, "+FLAGS", [:Deleted])
end
# imap.expunge
imap.logout
rescue
RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.error("Remedy CSV File Import Error: " + $!)
end
end
end
Not pretty, but it works!
