Hello, my name is Jay. I have taken a course in Java, and written several simple programs. I am a little bit rusty on the parse function,
what I am wanting to do is take data in text file format, parse the data, and output it in the following format
title firstName middleInitial lastName
streetAddress
city, state zip
I want to export it into a new text file like that. All other data can be disregaurded at this point.
I know how to do all of the file I/O stuff, but as I said, I am not really sure how to parse the data and put it in that format.
any help would be very much appreciated. This is my first on the job assignment as a programmer, so I want to make sure I can get it working.
here is the EXACT format of the original text file:
"fullName", "title", "firstName", "lastName", "middleInitial", "streetAddress", "city", "state", "zip", "phoneNumber", "Age", "income"
"fullName", "title", "firstName", "lastName", "middleInitial", "streetAddress", "city", "state", "zip", "phoneNumber", "Age", "income"
"fullName", "title", "firstName", "lastName", "middleInitial", "streetAddress", "city", "state", "zip", "phoneNumber", "Age", "income"
"fullName", "title", "firstName", "lastName", "middleInitial", "streetAddress", "city", "state", "zip", "phoneNumber", "Age", "income"
"fullName", "title", "firstName", "lastName", "middleInitial", "streetAddress", "city", "state", "zip", "phoneNumber", "Age", "income"
Thanks again.

It is a CSV (comma separated values) file. First get the reader
ready by using a BufferedReader. Then, as you scan line by line,
using readLine() method, do this:
System.out.println("Full Name\t Title\t First Name\t Last Name\t Middle Initial\t Street Address\t City\t State\t Zip\t Phone Number\t Age\t Income");
String line = null;
while( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
{
String [] data = line.split(",");
for(int i = 0; i < data.length i++)
{
System.out.print(data[i]);
}
System.out.println();
}
