Java: reading and writing a CSV file

Question

I am reading 2 csv: store_inventoryand files new_acquisitions.
I want to compare store_inventorycsv file with new_acquisitions. 1) If the item names match, just update the quantity in store_inventory. 2) If new_acquisitions has a new element that does not exist in store_inventory, add it to store_inventory.

Here is what I have done so far, but this is not very good. I added comments where I need to add taks 1 and 2 .
Any tips or code to complete the above tasks would be great! thank.

    File new_acq = new File("/src/test/new_acquisitions.csv");
    Scanner acq_scan = null;
    try {
        acq_scan = new Scanner(new_acq);
    } catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(mainpage.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }
    String itemName;
    int quantity;
    Double cost;
    Double price;

    File store_inv = new File("/src/test/store_inventory.csv");
    Scanner invscan = null;
    try {
        invscan = new Scanner(store_inv);
    } catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(mainpage.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }
    String itemNameInv;
    int quantityInv;
    Double costInv;
    Double priceInv;


    while (acq_scan.hasNext()) {
        String line = acq_scan.nextLine();
        if (line.charAt(0) == '#') {
            continue;
        }
        String[] split = line.split(",");

        itemName = split[0];
        quantity = Integer.parseInt(split[1]);
        cost = Double.parseDouble(split[2]);
        price = Double.parseDouble(split[3]);


        while(invscan.hasNext()) {
            String line2 = invscan.nextLine();
            if (line2.charAt(0) == '#') {
                continue;
            }
            String[] split2 = line2.split(",");

            itemNameInv = split2[0];
            quantityInv = Integer.parseInt(split2[1]);
            costInv = Double.parseDouble(split2[2]);
            priceInv = Double.parseDouble(split2[3]);


            if(itemName == itemNameInv) {
                //update quantity

            }
        }
        //add new entry into csv file

     }

Thanks again for any help. =]

uniVocity-parsers :

private void processInventory() throws IOException {
    /**
     * ---------------------------------------------
     *  Read CSV rows into list of beans you defined
     * ---------------------------------------------
     */
    // 1st, config the CSV reader with row processor attaching the bean definition
    CsvParserSettings settings = new CsvParserSettings();
    settings.getFormat().setLineSeparator("\n");
    BeanListProcessor<Inventory> rowProcessor = new BeanListProcessor<Inventory>(Inventory.class);
    settings.setRowProcessor(rowProcessor);
    settings.setHeaderExtractionEnabled(true);

    // 2nd, parse all rows from the CSV file into the list of beans you defined
    CsvParser parser = new CsvParser(settings);
    parser.parse(new FileReader("/src/test/store_inventory.csv"));
    List<Inventory> storeInvList = rowProcessor.getBeans();
    Iterator<Inventory> storeInvIterator = storeInvList.iterator();

    parser.parse(new FileReader("/src/test/new_acquisitions.csv"));
    List<Inventory> newAcqList = rowProcessor.getBeans();
    Iterator<Inventory> newAcqIterator = newAcqList.iterator();

    // 3rd, process the beans with business logic
    while (newAcqIterator.hasNext()) {

        Inventory newAcq = newAcqIterator.next();
        boolean isItemIncluded = false;
        while (storeInvIterator.hasNext()) {
            Inventory storeInv = storeInvIterator.next();

            // 1) If the item names match just update the quantity in store_inventory
            if (storeInv.getItemName().equalsIgnoreCase(newAcq.getItemName())) {
                storeInv.setQuantity(newAcq.getQuantity());
                isItemIncluded = true;
            }
        }

        // 2) If new_acquisitions has a new item that does not exist in store_inventory,
        // then add it to the store_inventory.
        if (!isItemIncluded) {
            storeInvList.add(newAcq);
        }
    }
}

Just follow this sample code that I developed to suit your requirements. Note that the library provided a simplified API and significant performance for parsing CSV files.

For recording in CSV

public void writeCSV() {

        // Delimiter used in CSV file
        private static final String NEW_LINE_SEPARATOR = "\n";

        // CSV file header
        private static final Object[] FILE_HEADER = { "Empoyee Name","Empoyee Code", "In Time", "Out Time", "Duration", "Is Working Day" };

        String fileName = "fileName.csv");
        List<Objects> objects = new ArrayList<Objects>();
        FileWriter fileWriter = null;
        CSVPrinter csvFilePrinter = null;

        // Create the CSVFormat object with "\n" as a record delimiter
        CSVFormat csvFileFormat = CSVFormat.DEFAULT.withRecordSeparator(NEW_LINE_SEPARATOR);

        try {
            fileWriter = new FileWriter(fileName);

            csvFilePrinter = new CSVPrinter(fileWriter, csvFileFormat);

            csvFilePrinter.printRecord(FILE_HEADER);

            // Write a new student object list to the CSV file
            for (Object object : objects) {
                List<String> record = new ArrayList<String>();

                record.add(object.getValue1().toString());
                record.add(object.getValue2().toString());
                record.add(object.getValue3().toString());

                csvFilePrinter.printRecord(record);
            }

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            try {
                fileWriter.flush();
                fileWriter.close();
                csvFilePrinter.close();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }

You can use Apache Commons CSV api. FYI this anwser: fooobar.com/questions/624060 / ...
