Input file parsing to insert into DB

Hi,

I have a sample input file as follows:

++++++++++ 2009-09-28 15:10:58 ++++++++++++++
++++++++ DAILY SCORES +++++++++++++++++
2009-09-28 15:10:58|AAAA|0
2009-09-28 15:10:58|BBBBB|0
2009-09-28 15:10:58|ACCCC|0
++++++++ MONTHLY SCORES +++++++++++++++++
2009-09-28 15:10:58|AAAA|30
2009-09-28 15:10:58|BBBBB|50
2009-09-28 15:10:58|ACCCC|60

I should ignore first line and then look for "DAILY SCORES" or "MONTHLY SCORES"string. This determines which MySql table has to be used.
Then read the following lines delimited by pipe and insert them into MySql table

Table schema is as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------
dateandtimestamp | program | score
------------------------------------------------------------

Please suggest the best approach to do this.

Thanks,
Mona.

Create a Record class that encapsulates the data.
Then create a DBRecord class that holds a Set<Record> and the scores type (Daily or Monthly).
Then create a DBRecordBuilder class that reads the file and creates a Set<DBRecordBuilder>.
That should get you going.

Can you please elaborate it more? Could you please give me a skeleton of the program?

No and No.

r035198x has given you more than enough to start with.

I will, however, add the IO tutorials.
