CsvReader trouble

[Terje Halvorsen]

Hi,

I have this code in my Java program:

String filename = textFile.getText();

try {

CsvReader cust = new CsvReader(filename);

cust.readHeaders();

while (cust.readRecord())
{
String name = cust.get(1);
String street = cust.get(2);
String zip = cust.get(3);
String city = cust.get(4);

System.out.println(name + ":" + street + ":" + zip + ":" + city);
}

cust.close();

} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

When I run a debugger on this, it reads the file, but it doesn't print... The string variables are empty!
 What could I be missing?

it could be a bunch of things. what does getColumnCount() return? how many times does the while loop run? you're actually grabbing the value of the second column to put into your name variable, because the parser is 0 based, and you're using the default constructor which specifies csv, so if you gave it a tab delimited file, it wouldn't find a comma, and the entire record would be in the first column, which you're not currently even looking at.

Given that he's printing it out with ":", I would think it's the latter.
