Hi,

The ruby standard library include a CSV parser (you will find the api
there : http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/). You should try it.

require 'csv'
CSV.open(@filepath, "r") do |csv|
   # csv[0]..csv[n] contains your columns...
end

Since your file has a header, you could write something like :

require 'csv'
my_csv = CSV.open(@filepath, "r")
header = my_csv.shift # header is a array containing each column of
your first line
my_csv.each do |row|
  row.each_index { |i| physician[header[i]] = row[i] }
end
my_csv.close

... But be carrefull if your file contains more than one line and you
didn't overload the "=" operator of physician because you will affect
all lines in the same physician object...
