Fair enough. I have parsed CSVs a number of times, I guess I've been
lucky in that one of the design criteria was no occurances of the
delimiter within data elements. Certainly if there is a chance of that,
then sure, you need something more advanced.

I might be missing something, but doesn't StringTokenizer do the trick
for you?
Anyone with experience parsing CSVs knows there are the cases of
delimiters within quotes that make the parsing a bigger headache than
just using StringTokenizer (or String.split()). Why else would there be
so many other third-party APIs for it?

Afternoon. Just writing to ask if anyone knows of any commons/jakarta
packages that may do CSV parsing and writing. I'm aware of the jcsv
package but thought I would try and utilize commons as much as possible.
I looked at jakarta-oro as well but don't seem to see anything CSV
related.
Thanks in advance.
