writing data to CSV file

[yekkala krishna]

Hi,

My task is to write data to csv file after parsing data from Log file.

By using DataInputStream i am able to parse the data in the Log file and now how i can write parsed data to CSV file?
Please see the below code:

                fis=new FileInputStream(f);
    		bis=new BufferedInputStream(fis);
    		dis=new DataInputStream(bis);
    		   
    		
               while((line=dis.readLine())!=null){
            	  
            	String devicename=line.substring(12);
            	System.out.println(devicename);
            	 }

regards,
rama

Do you know what a CSV file looks like internally? If so, what would you have to do in order to create such a file?

Of course, if you have just a single value in each row, then there isn't much difference between a non.CSV text file and a CSV file.

Lastly, if the data that's supposed to go into the CSV gets more complicated, then you should consider using a library for creating such files - the format does get more complicated to generate if you can't make any assumptions about its contents. The AccessingFileFormats page links to several available CSV libraries.
