Extract timestamp from row of data

Question

I have an input csv file like:

0,Mike,2015-12-04 21:56:32
1,Raj,2015-12-04 11:53:29

I want to extract the timestamp from the file. What is the easiest way to do it in Java.

Answer 1

You can do it as follows:

while(reader.hasNext()) {
    String csvString = reader.nextLine();
    String[] splits = csvString.split(",");
    System.out.println("Record: " + splits[0] + " Timestamp: " + splits[2]);
}

Output:

Record: 0 Timestamp: 2015-12-04 21:56:32
Record: 1 Timestamp: 2015-12-04 11:53:29
