You can put your zones.csv into a resources subfolder indeed, this way it will stay with your measure (it seems that you can only have measure.rb and measure.xml at the root of your measure folder).

In your zones.csv:

ZoneName
Zone 1
Zone 2
Zone 3

then in your measure:

require 'csv'
# File.dirname(__FILE__) points to the location of the current file, so your `measure.rb`
zones = CSV.table(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/resources/zones.csv')
#

At this point if you check the headers:

[1] (main)> zones.headers
 => [:zonename]

Then you can do a bunch of stuff, like you can loop on each and grab the thermal zone associated with it

zones.each do |row|
    zonename = row[:zonename]
    zone = model.getThermalZoneByName(zonename)
    if zone.empty?
        puts "couldn't find zone named #{zonename}"
    else
        zone = zone.get
        # Do something else
    end
end

Or if it's easier you can always load all the zone name in a more familiar array object:

# Create empty array to store the zone names
 zone_names = []
 zones.each{|zone| zone_names << zone[:zonename]}

In your zones.csv:

ZoneName
Zone 1
Zone 2
Zone 3

then in your measure:

require 'csv'
# File.dirname(__FILE__) points to the location of the current file, so your `measure.rb`
zones = CSV.table(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/resources/zones.csv')
#

At this point if you check the headers:

[1] (main)> zones.headers
 => [:zonename]

Then you can do a bunch of stuff, like you can loop on each and grab the thermal zone associated with it

zones.each do |row|
    zonename = row[:zonename]
    zone = model.getThermalZoneByName(zonename)
    if zone.empty?
        puts "couldn't find zone named #{zonename}"
    else
        zone = zone.get
        # Do something else
    end
end

Or if it's easier you can always load all the zone name in a more familiar array object:

 zone_names = []
 zones.each{|zone| zones.each{|row| zone_names << zone[:zonename]}

row[:zonename]}
