Parse .txt to .csv

Question

Is it possible to create a Java program which recognizes the text in a .txt file and write it in a .csv file? If yes,how would you start with such a problem?

My .txt

Answer 1

Yes it is very much possible. Replace | by , and write it to a csv

public class NewClass {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

   String data = "one|two|three|four"+"\n"+
           "one|two|three|four";
   //Use a BufferedReader to read from actual Text file
    String csv = data.replace("|", ",");
    System.out.println(csv);

    PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("MyCSV.csv")));
    out.println(csv);
    out.close();
}
}

Output

run:
one,two,three,four
one,two,three,four
