Option skip_blanks¶ ↑

Specifies a boolean that determines whether blank lines in the input will be ignored; a line that contains a column separator is not considered to be blank.

Default value:

CSV::DEFAULT_OPTIONS.fetch(:skip_blanks) # => false

See also option skiplines.

For examples in this section:

str = <<-EOT
foo,0

bar,1
baz,2

,
EOT

Using the default, false:

ary = CSV.parse(str)
ary # => [["foo", "0"], [], ["bar", "1"], ["baz", "2"], [], [nil, nil]]

Using true:

ary = CSV.parse(str, skip_blanks: true)
ary # => [["foo", "0"], ["bar", "1"], ["baz", "2"], [nil, nil]]

Using a truthy value:

ary = CSV.parse(str, skip_blanks: :foo)
ary # => [["foo", "0"], ["bar", "1"], ["baz", "2"], [nil, nil]]
