Welcome to the Ranch 
You are usually better off searching for CSV parsers than trying to do it yourself. If you want to get that String into a date, I suggest you look at the SimpleDateFormat class. If you want to display it, have a look at the date and time handling in the java.util.Formatter class; String#format and System.out.printf use the same format Strings as shown for Formatter.

Not sure I understand the problem. Do you want to include the leading 0s? You can do that if you retain the information in String format. If you change it to an int or Integer or (I think) BigInteger, there will be no record of the leading 0s.

Are you opening the CSV file in Microsoft Excel? This application has a tendency of applying its own formatting. It's easy to change:
- Select the cells (or entire columns).
- Right click
- Select "Format Cells"
- Select the "Custom" category.
- Type in 00000 for the numbers to have at least 5 digits (adding leading zeros), or yyyy-mm-dd for the dates.
- Select the cells (or entire columns).
- Right click
- Select "Format Cells"
- Select the "Custom" category.
- Type in 00000 for the numbers to have at least 5 digits (adding leading zeros), or yyyy-mm-dd for the dates.

Well presumably you must know what it is you're looking at; otherwise there really is no solution. I'd suggest looking at the NumberFormat or DecimalFormat classes.
No; that's not how it works. ShowSomeEffort, and come back if the code you write has problems.

Then why use Excel at all? Just use a proper CSV reading library (see AccessingFileFormats) to read the data, and add it to the database directly. My guess is that you're first creating an Excel file and then using JDBC to read from that Excel file. There's absolutely no need for that.

1. Click on that link.
2. Scroll down to the Excel section - there you will find links to 6 CSV libraries.
3. Click on each of those links and read the documentation and look at any sample code for each library.
4. Once you have decided which one best suits your needs, use it in your code.
Or in other words Show Some Effort

That's a workaround, not a solution.

Append a double quote and tab, problem will rectify. Tab prevent leading zeors truncation and double quote separation of a cell when numbers has comma(,) with in it.
String actualString = "0000012345";
Solution:
"\"\t"+actualString + "\"";
