How to read text after delimiter in textfile ?

[sandeep43]

HI
I HAVE TEXT FILE, there will be only two columns
e.g: test, PS_JOB

all i have to do is read text after delimiter i have done following

 Scanner scan = new Scanner(new File("textfile.txt"));
                         	
                        scan.useDelimiter(",");       
                        while(scan.hasNext()){
                                  
                    System.out.println(scan.next());  
                   
                          }

this returns every value. i want only after delimiter.

Why not read entire line and use String.split?

I just realised your misconception. Using the delimeter does not automagically ignore text before and give you the text afterwards. What it does, it uses the delimeter as the break point instead of a line break.

If the text was "one,two,three". Using a comma as a delimeter you would get three values "one" "two" and "three". Without the delimeter you would get one value "one,two,three".

Split on the comma, i.e. line.split(","); the split method returns an array of Strings where array[0] == "one", array[1] == "two" etc.

kind regards,

how big is the file? If not too big, I would read each line into a string, and then invoke the substring method using the index of the "," + 1 as the start index. You can use indexOf to get the index of the comma and then add 1.
