I figured out a workaround. I converted the file to bytes and then converted the bytes to String. From String I applied string.split() to get what I wanted out of the file.

    if (!file.isEmpty()) {
        try {
            byte[] bytes = file.getBytes();
            String completeData = new String(bytes);
            String[] rows = completeData.split("#");
            String[] columns = rows[0].split(",");
