reading a .csv file into an array in java -

i have class called empquery trying create array of objects employee class hold data comes employeedatabase.csv file. database appears shown below. need use stream-processing-algorithm..

loop till eof{ read in 1 record deal record completly } 

ex.

employee id,full name,department,start date,earnings emp001,adele m. fulton,engineering,10/28/2008,"$104,000.00" emp002,ali t. herman,engineering,2/27/2012,"$337,522.00" emp003,alika c. crawford,engineering,6/2/2009,"$144,000.00" 

so far have set public class employeedb {

    private static string[] empid = new string[300];     private static string[] empname = new string[300];     private static string[] department = new string[300];     private static string[] startdate = new string[300];     private static string [] earnings = new string[300];     private static string [] empdatabase = new string[300];     /**      * @param args command line arguments      * @throws java.io.filenotfoundexception      */     public static void main(string[] args) throws filenotfoundexception {         filldataarray();     }     public class employee{       string empid;       string empname;       string department;       string startdate;       int earnings;     public employee(string id,string name,string dept,string sdate,int earn){            empname = name;           empid = id;           department = dept;           startdate = sdate;           earnings = earn;    }           public employee( string id, string name)  {            empname = name;           empid = id;           department = "";           startdate = "";           earnings = 0;     }      public employee(){             empname = "";            empid = "";            department = "";            startdate = "";            earnings = 0;      }     }     private static string[] filldataarray() throws filenotfoundexception {         file databasefile = new file("empdb_lab7.csv");         scanner inputfile = new scanner(databasefile);         string inputline;         string [] empdbtemp = null;         int i=0;          while (inputfile.hasnextline()) {             inputline = inputfile.nextline();             empdbtemp = inputline.split("-");             empid[i] = empdbtemp[1];             empname[i] = empdbtemp[2];             department[i] = empdbtemp[3];             startdate[i] = empdbtemp[4];             earnings[i] = empdbtemp[5];         }        return empdbtemp;      } }  exception in thread "main" java.lang.arrayindexoutofboundsexception: 1     @ employeedb.employeedb.filldataarray(employeedb.java:76)     @ employeedb.employeedb.main(employeedb.java:28) java result: 1 

csv parsing harder appears, should use pre-existing library, such super csv

your csv column names should match bean field names (or skip header altogether), , earnings string, else you'll want use cellprocessor parse it.

reading stuff array , stream processing contradictory.

icsvbeanreader csvreader = new csvbeanreader(new filereader("employeedatabase.csv"), csvpreference.standard_preference);  string[] header = csvreader.getheader(false);  employeedb employeedb;  while((employeedb = csvreader.read(employeedb.class, header)) != null) {     system.out.println(employeedb.getempname()); }  csvreader.close(); 

and

public class employeedb {      private string empid;     private string empname;     private string department;     private string startdate;     private string earnings;      ...getters/setters... } 

i changed header to:

empid,empname,department,startdate,earnings
