Output from CSV file is messed up

[innovo]

Hello everyone, I have been working on some code to read .csv files. So far I have been successful and I am able to read what's in the file,however the output is just a little messed up. The first row of the .csv file comes out like it was carriage returned or something despite there being no code telling it to do this.

Now before you read the output of the file, I made a small program in C++ to generate the .csv file and write everything to it. When I was running the application I just typed random letters just to see if I could write to the .csv file. So most of what's in the rows will be gibberish. The only thing I care about is the first row.

I'm not sure why the first row is coming out all carriage returned as I didn'nt tell it to do that.

package csvreader;
import java.io.File;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
/**
 *
 * @author natehindman
 */
public class Csvreader {

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String fileName = "somestuff5.csv";
        File file = new File(fileName);
        
       // Scanner inputStream = new Scanner(fileName);
        // TODO code application logic here
        try{
            Scanner inputStream = new Scanner(file);
            while(inputStream.hasNext()){
                String data = inputStream.next();
                System.out.println(data);
            }
            inputStream.close();
        }
   
        catch(FileNotFoundException e){
            System.out.printf("YOU DUN MESSED IT UP");
          //  e.printStackTrace;
        }
    }
    
}

Why is the first row of the output all messed up?

What do you expect hasNext() to do? The default delimiter is white space so that is probably your problem.

What should I use instead?

[Norm]

If you want a different delimiter to be used to separate tokens read by the next() method, use one of the Scanner class's methods to change it.

Read the documentation on Scanner to see ways of using alternate delimiters.
