Class CSVFile

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    CSVFileReader, CSVFileWriter
    public abstract class CSVFile
extends Object
    CSVFile is a class used to handle Comma-Separated Values files.

    It is abstract because it is the base class used for CSVFileReader and CSVFleWriter so you should use one of these (or both) according on what you need to do.

    Example of usage: 
     import java.util.*;
 import java.io.*;

 public class CSVFileExample {

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

                CSVFileReader in = new CSVFileReader("csv_in.txt", ';', '"');
                CSVFileWriter out = new CSVFileWriter("csv_out.txt", ',', '\'');

     Vector<String> fields = in.readFields();
     while(fields!=null) {
       out.writeFields(fields);
       fields = in.readFields();
     }

     in.close();
     out.close();
  }

 }
