Save csv file in Document object through Visualforce page

Hi,

I want to create a visualforce page from where I select a csv file and upload into salesforce Document object.
Then from document object I need to read the uploaded file and insert into a custom object.
Please provide suggestions.

Thanks!

Refer the below link for an example on how to attach a file using custom controller and VF Page:
http://blog.jeffdouglas.com/2010/04/28/uploading-an-attachment-using-visualforce-and-a-custom-controller/

If you have Notes and Attachments as a related list on the Custom Object, you can use the Id of the Custom Object's record as a Parent Id for the Attachment and it should show up automatically when you view the particular record. Even if you dont have a tab for the Custom Object, you can still use the Custom Object's Id as the ParentId of the attachment (Code is available in the link I gave above).

Let me know if it helps.
