I can import a csv file formated like
#Title (year),Votes,Rating
The Shawshank Redemption (1994),524838,9.2
The Godfather (1972),414578,9.1
The Godfather: Part II (1974),247827,9
Inception (2010),201440,9
Pulp Fiction (1994),421687,8.9
Schindler's List (1993),278909,8.9
12 Angry Men (1957),120758,8.8
using the code
Code:
private void importTop(MovieList movieDatabase){
String year;
String title;
String row;
String[] values = new String[4];
JFileChooser cf = new JFileChooser();
int result = cf.showOpenDialog(null);
File file = null;
if(result == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
file = cf.getSelectedFile();
try {
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
while ((row = in.readLine()) != null){
values = row.split(",");
title = values[0];
int year_beg = title.indexOf("(")+1;
int year_end = title.indexOf(")", year_beg);
year = title.substring(year_beg, year_end);
Movie importedMovies = new Movie(values[0], values[1], values[2], year);
movieDatabase.add(importedMovies);
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
I can split the fields and pass those as attributes into the constructor of Movie... I want to split the title and year in the list file too, but it's formatted differently and doesnt have comma's how would I do this?
