Java read CSV File 📰

IMPORTANT NOTE: If values in your CSV contain commas naturally, they will be split. (Ex. $1,000). If this is the case, replace: String[] row = line.split(","); with String[] row = line.split(",(?=([^\"]*\"[^\"]*\")*[^\"]*$)"); ^ This is regex and is very complicated. It looks for string patterns. Explaining this requires another video entirely. //****************************************************** import java.io.*; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { //CSV = Comma-Separated Values // text file that uses a comma to separate values String file = "src\\students.csv"; BufferedReader reader = null; String line = ""; try { reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file)); while((line = reader.readLine()) != null) { String[] row = line.split(","); //String[] row = line.split(",(?=([^\"]*\"[^\"]*\")*[^\"]*$)"); //use this if your values already contain commas for(String index : row) { System.out.printf("%-10s", index); } System.out.println(); } } catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } finally { try { reader.close(); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } } } //******************************************************
