I want to Parse the lines of a file Using parsingMethod
test.csv
Frank George,Henry,Mary / New York,123456
,Beta Charli,"Delta,Delta Echo
", 25/11/1964, 15/12/1964,"40,000,000.00",0.0975,2,"King, Lincoln ",Alpha
This is the way i read line
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
File file = new File("C:\\Users\\test.csv");
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
String line2;
while ((line2= reader.readLine()) !=null) {
String[] tab = parsingMethod(line2, ",");
for (String i : tab) {
System.out.println( i );
}
}
}
public static String[] parsingMethod(String line,String parser) {
List<String> liste = new LinkedList<String>();
String patternString ="(([^\"][^"+parser+ "]*)|\"([^\"]*)\")" +parser+"?";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(patternString);
Matcher matcher =pattern.matcher(line);
while (matcher.find()) {
if(matcher.group(2) != null){
liste.add(matcher.group(2).replace("\n","").trim());
}else if(matcher.group(3) != null){
liste.add(matcher.group(3).replace("\n","").trim());
}
}
String[] result = new String[liste.size()];
return liste.toArray(result);
}
}
Output :
Frank George

I want to remove this " , Can any one help me to improve my Pattern.

Your code didn't compile properly but that was caused by some of the "
not being escaped.
But this should do the trick:
String patternString = "(?:^.,|)([^\"]*?|\".*?\")(?:,|$)";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(patternString, Pattern.MULTILINE);
(?:^.,|)
is a non capturing group that matches a single character at the start of the line
([^\\"]*?|\\".*?\\")
is a capturing group that either matches everything but " OR anything in between " "
(?:,|$)
is a non capturing group that matches a end of the line or a comma.
Note: ^
and $
only work as stated when the pattern is compiled with the Pattern.MULTILINE flag
I can't reproduce your result but I'm thinking maybe you want to leave the quotes out of the second captured group, like this:
"(([^\"][^"+parser+ "]*)|\"([^\"]*))\"" +parser+"?"
Edit: Sorry, this won't work. Maybe you want to let any number of ^\\"
in the first group as well, like this: (([^,\\"]*)|\\"([^\\"]*)\\"),?
As i can see the lines are related so try this:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
File file = new File("C:\\Users\\test.csv");
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
StringBuilder line = new StringBuilder();
String lineRead;
while ((lineRead = reader.readLine()) != null) {
line.append(lineRead);
}
String[] tab = parsingMethod(line.toString());
for (String i : tab) {
System.out.println(i);
}
}
public static String[] parsingMethod(String line) {
List<String> liste = new LinkedList<String>();
String patternString = "(([^\"][^,]*)|\"([^\"]*)\"),?";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(patternString);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(line);
while (matcher.find()) {
if (matcher.group(2) != null) {
liste.add(matcher.group(2).replace("\n", "").trim());
} else if (matcher.group(3) != null) {
liste.add(matcher.group(3).replace("\n", "").trim());
}
}
String[] result = new String[liste.size()];
return liste.toArray(result);
}
Ouput:
Frank George
Henry

as Delta, Delta Echo is in a quotation this should appear in the same line ! like as King, Lincoln
