Ruby migration: convert an Excel-file into XML using a gem
Start: an excel file (XLSX) containing customer data. Result: an XML file that a CRM system can import. Tools: Command Prompt, Ruby gem move-to-go.
I'm following a step-by-step guide and have done steps 1-9. I need help with steps 9-12.
- In command prompt: cd (Change direction) to folder where you want to put the migration folder.
- Enter this command move-to-go new MigrationFolder excel (or other list-source).
- Now a folder named “MigrationFolder” is created COMMENT: The folder came with several files already included, File B was one of them. I moved File A here manually, not through command prompt. (Picture 1).
Enter the folder. Enter the command cd MigrationFolder.
Open up the ruby file “Converter.rb”, this is the place where you do the mapping of the fields. COMMENT: There's no file with that name in the folder, however I was able to find the file in their Git. I copied and pasted the code to a text editor and modified it to suit my excel file A.
Now that you are done with your mapping, you want to run the conversion. COMMENT: After I thought I was done with modifying the file, I pasted the code from text editor to command prompt as a whole.
Enter the command move-to-go run. Now Ruby maps the source-file data with the converter file you edited. Which results in a XML file that contains the fetched data and that the CRM-system can read.COMMENT: It resulted in a zipfolder containing an XML-file with data from File B, not A although I wrote the filename for it.
How do I go about converting my excel file into XML (in a zipfolder) with Ruby gem move-to-go?
Do I have to change any fields in the excel file?
Do I need to map data? If yes, how?

Please help a rookie (who wants to learn) out!
I'm willing to pay for someone to teach me by demonstrating this through Skype and Remote Assistance or similar software. My hair is starting to fall out.

You need to provide some code and at least the url of the guide you are following. I recommendo to create a git repo in github or gitlab and share it in order to help you.

"Enter the folder. Enter the command cd MigrationFolder." - Are you having a problem with this step because this is a shell command and depends on which operating system you are using, Windows, Mac, Linux etc...
