Read CSV file column by column

Question

I want to read specific columns from a multi column csv file and print those columns in other csv file using Java. Any help please? Following is my code to print each token

Answer 1

To read some specific column I did something like this:

dpkcs.csv content:
FN,LN,EMAIL,CC
Name1,Lname1,email1@gmail.com,CC1
Nmae2,Lname2,email2r@gmail.com,CC2

The function to read it:

private void getEMailRecepientList() {
                List emailList = null;// Blank list of POJO class
                Scanner scanner = null;
                BufferedReader reader = null;
                try {
                    reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("dpkcs.csv"));
                    Map mailHeader = new HashMap();
                    // read file line by line
                    String line = null;
                    int index = 0;
                    line = reader.readLine();
                    // Get header from 1st row of csv
                    if (line != null) {
                        StringTokenizer str = new StringTokenizer(line, ",");
                        int headerCount = str.countTokens();
                        for (int i = 0; i < headerCount; i++) {
                            String headerKey = str.nextToken();
                            mailHeader.put(headerKey.toUpperCase(), new Integer(i));

                        }
                    }
                    emailList = new ArrayList();

                    while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                    // POJO class for getter and setters
                        EmailRecepientData email = new EmailRecepientData();
                        scanner = new Scanner(line);
                        scanner.useDelimiter(",");
                    //Use Specific key to get value what u want
                        while (scanner.hasNext()) {
                            String data = scanner.next();
                            if (index == mailHeader.get("EMAIL"))
                                email.setEmailId(data);
                            else if (index == mailHeader.get("FN"))
                                email.setFirstName(data);
                            else if (index == mailHeader.get("LN"))
                                email.setLastName(data);
                            else if (index == mailHeader.get("CC"))
                                email.setCouponCode(data);

                            index++;
                        }
                        index = 0;
                        emailList.add(email);
                    }
                    reader.close();
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    StringWriter stack = new StringWriter();
                    e.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(stack));

                } finally {
                    scanner.close();
                }

                System.out.println("list--" + emailList);

            }

The POJO Class:

public class EmailRecepientData {
    private String emailId;
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    private String couponCode;

    public String getEmailId() {
        return emailId;
    }

    public void setEmailId(String emailId) {
        this.emailId = emailId;
    }

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    public String getCouponCode() {
        return couponCode;
    }

    public void setCouponCode(String couponCode) {
        this.couponCode = couponCode;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Email Id=" + emailId + ", First Name=" + firstName + " ,"
                + " Last Name=" + lastName + ", Coupon Code=" + couponCode + "";
    }

}
