How to skip the first line of a CSV file and make the second line the header

Question

Is there a way to skip the first line of a CSV file and make the second line act as the header?

I have a CSV file that has the date on the first row and the headers

Answer 1

I had the same problem (except I wanted to skip more than 1 line at the beginning) and came across this question while looking for a nice solution. For my case, I went with the code described in this answer to a similar question, except that I am also utilizing the headers option as you mentioned you wanted to do.

CSV.parse(File.readlines(path).drop(1).join, headers: true) do |row|
  # ... now I can use: row['column_name']
end
