I think the lowest common denominators you need is a special character which
will separate
the field for instance in the sequence below it is comma separated file and
the position of the fields must be consistent.
while(1=1)
{
line = file.readLine();
String fieldValue
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(line, ",");
fieldValue = st.nextToken();
}
