ruby - Searching txt / excel files in an ftp server with rails? -
searching google , stackoverflow hasn't given me information need, i'm wondering if can me regarding general structure of app i'd build.
basically, possible build rails app downloads files ftp server each day (the files uploaded each morning ftp) users can go app , choose file search , search file without having download anything. pull full line of results (excel formatted text document) , display in browser.
is there gem this? haven't started coding because i'm not sure possible. depend on hosting platform? example, possible on heroku?
i'm new rails, , don't want start if above isn't possible, or alternative (possibly better) way of searching files exists. can rails search files if they're downloaded local machine has excel installed?
it possible thats work do:
- use net::ftp download files server
- start script imports files in indexing database thinkingsphinx, solr,... can find video of how deal excel files here
- create interface search indexed documents
you need engine run whole process once day. thats not problem, there many schelduling engines rails out there....
