Hi all,

I am writing an app that needs to be able to read a CSV file. I've seen examples for reading a file--but I'm pretty sure these examples read the WHOLE FILE. Can someone help me understand how to break it up into individual lines? Like maybe an array of strings.

I know how to use "split" to break up each line.

TIA!

Use split, but since String.split is not in J2ME, use a combination of String.substring and String.indexOf.

I get the concept of what you're saying. But what char am I searching for? What char represents a newline?

Thanks!

I believe this is what your looking to do.

Just copy the entire method sample, works perfectly!

Yes--that's what I'm looking to do, but I still need to know what to use as the delimiter to split it into individual lines.

Thanks!

the file format says it all, Comma Seperated Values (CSV) you are looking for commas BUT there are special cases at times!

Have a read of this wikipedia article for more info! Comma-separated values - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ok--I've continued to search and just found something that indicates a newline would be represented by one of the following:

• \n
• \r
• \r\n
