skip first line when reading a csv

[j0rdan]

practically i have an e-mail client which reads e-mail address, then subject, then the message from a csv.

the problem is i want the first line in the csv to be like a heading.

soo far this is the code i have.

i tried setting line at one but with no luck it just read the second line first then read the first line last.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;

public class EmailCSV {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// Strings for the file the email address from and the host
		String fileName="C:\\file\\file.csv";
                String from = "myemail@email.com";
                String host = "my host";

                
      Properties properties = System.getProperties();

      
      properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", host);

      Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);
		try {
	
                    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader( new FileReader(fileName));
			//String strLine = null;
			StringTokenizer st = null;
			int lineNumber = 0, tokenNumber = 0;
 
			while( (fileName = br.readLine()) != null)
			{
				lineNumber++;
 
				//break comma separated line using ","
				st = new StringTokenizer(fileName, ",");
                        
				
                                while(st.hasMoreTokens())
				{
					//display csv values
					tokenNumber++;
                                        // strings to read first line
                                        String to = st.nextToken();  
                                        
          MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
                                              
         //sets message from
         message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
         //sets message to
         message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
                                  new InternetAddress(to));
         //sets subjest
         message.setSubject(st.nextToken());
         // sets the content of the email
         message.setContent(st.nextToken(),
                            "text/html" );

         // Send message successfull
         Transport.send(message);
         System.out.println("Sent message successfully....");
                                }
				//reset token number
				tokenNumber = 0;
			}
		} 		
		catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
			//Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			//Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
                catch (MessagingException mex) {
         mex.printStackTrace();
      }
                
}
}

Just don't do anything with the first line then.

br.readLine();
while ((file = br.readLine()) != null) {
// etc etc
}

ALso, just a note, but StringTokeniser is deprecated. You should be using the split() method on String instead.

A side issue - what happens if you want to place a comma inside one of the fields in your CSV file?

I was wondering that, especially since one of the fields seems to be a slab of html.

Still, I'm sure they know what they're doing...
