To read a CSV file in Java, you can use the OpenCSV library, which is a very simple and easy to use library that allows you to work with CSV files in Java.
Here’s a basic example of how you can read a CSV file:
- First, you have to add the OpenCSV library to your Java project.
You can download it from here, http://opencsv.sourceforge.net/, or if you’re using a build system like Maven, you can add it to your pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.opencsv</groupId>
<artifactId>opencsv</artifactId>
<version>5.2</version>
</dependency>
- Here’s a basic example of how to read records from a CSV file:
import com.opencsv.CSVReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
public class CSVReaderExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String csvFile = "/path/to/your/csvfile.csv";
CSVReader reader = null;
try {
reader = new CSVReader(new FileReader(csvFile));
String[] line;
while ((line = reader.readNext()) != null) {
System.out.println("Column 1: " + line[0] + " Column 2: " + line[1]);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (reader != null) {
try {
reader.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
}
This will read the CSV file line by line and print out the first two columns of each line.
Remember to replace “/path/to/your/csvfile.csv” with the path to the actual CSV file that you want to read.
