I am using the apache.commons.csv library in Java . I am reading a CSV file from a webpage using this code:
InputStream input = new URL(url).openStream();
Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(input, "UTF-8");
defaultParser = new CSVParser(reader, CSVFormat.DEFAULT);
excelParser = new CSVParser(reader, CSVFormat.EXCEL.withHeader());
defaultParsedData = defaultParser.getRecords();
excelParsedData = excelParser.getRecords();
However, I cannot find a method in this library to easily write this file to my computer, to open it and read it later.
I tried this code to save the file.
String outputFile = savePath+".csv";
CSVPrinter csvFilePrinter = null;
CSVFormat csvFileFormat = CSVFormat.EXCEL.withHeader();
FileWriter fileWriter = new FileWriter(outputFile);
csvFilePrinter = new CSVPrinter(fileWriter, csvFileFormat);
for (CSVRecord csvRecord : excelParser) {
for(String dataPoint: csvRecord){
csvFilePrinter.print(dataPoint);
}
csvFilePrinter.print('\n');
}
fileWriter.flush();
fileWriter.close();
csvFilePrinter.close();
However, when I try to read a file with this code, nothing prints:
InputStream input = new FileInputStream(cvsFilePath);
Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(input, "UTF-8");
CSVParser load = new CSVParser(reader, CSVFormat.EXCEL);
java.util.List<CSVRecord> testlist = load.getRecords();
CSVRecord dataPoint = testlist.get(0);
System.out.println("print: " + dataPoint.get(0));
It only prints "print:" If I add
System.out.println("print: " + dataPoint.get(1));
He gives
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1
When I open the saved CSV file in notepad, an empty line appears, and then:
