You can easily do what you are asking for. If you make a converter that takes two arguments, the second argument will contain information about the field you are currently converting. Using that, here's an example of how to convert by index or column name:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby -wKU
require "pp"
require "rubygems"
require "faster_csv"
data = <<END_DATA
one,two,three
1,2,3
4,5,6
END_DATA
col3_to_int = lambda { |field, info| info.index == 2 ? field.to_i : field }
pp FCSV.parse(data, :converters => col3_to_int)
# >> [["one", "two", 0], ["1", "2", 3], ["4", "5", 6]]
three_to_int = lambda do |field, info|
info.header == "three" ? field.to_i : field
end
pp FCSV.parse(data, :headers => true, :converters => col3_to_int).to_a
# >> [["one", "two", "three"], ["1", "2", 3], ["4", "5", 6]]
__END__
Hope that helps.
