2You should use OpenCSV for parsing the CSV data.Kai– Kai2011-12-20 10:38:16 +00:00Commented Dec 20, 2011 at 10:38

Adopt CSV Reader to your code,it will be a much simpler solution code rather than the other one.Karthik– Karthik2011-12-20 12:52:59 +00:00Commented Dec 20, 2011 at 12:52

You can use java.io.Reader and split string on ","

Please be more elaborate. Clearly, the OP has no clue about those if he's asking this question....Also, A simple split might not work. What if the data has a double quote in it?

if the data has double quote or anything that can't be handled by a String.split, he definitely should use an external library
Take a look here where I describe a regex you could use. You may need to tinker with it to deal with the extra spaces you have on either side of your commas.
Please remember that rolling your own CSV reader is likely to cause you trouble down the line. Please try very hard to use a ready-made one like OpenCSV mentioned elsewhere.
