Parsing CSV in java

Question

I have this weird situation where I have to read horizontally. So I am getting a csv file which has data in horizontal format. Like below:

CompanyName,RunDat         


        

Answer 1

In order to get each value one at a time, use a StringTokenizer. Construct it with StringTokenizer(str, ","). (Not recommended)

Use the split() method of the string class, which loads all of the tokens into an array.

Use the DateFormat class to parse each date -- specifically DateFormat.parse(String).
