I'm assuming you meant CSV file, and weren't thinking of CVS
https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/ , which is a source code control system.
You can do this quite simply, though it does depend on whether each line represents a discrete object or each field does.
1. for each line in your CSV file parse out the fields ( a stringtokenizer object will help you do this quite nicely) then EITHER
2a. instantiate an object based on those fields and add it to the array or a java.util.Vector
2b. instantiate a new object for each of the fields from that line, and add the object to your array or Vector.
Handy classes to read about would be StringTokenizer, Vector, and the StreamReader classes.
