you have to parse your csv line into multiple strings.... columns take a look at SuperCSV, a handy library for handling csv files in java

The .csv table is 3 columns and 8 rows. The grid displays 8 rows but one column ? Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Eldred Mullany Sent: 10 February 2010 02:37 PM To: Tapestry users Subject: Reading a .csv file and displaying grid table of it Hi everyone I am attempting to read a .csv file from a directory, however I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. I am using a BufferedReader to read the file. Then I am looping through using the readLine() method and assigning each line to an ArrayList, well I thought it was as simple as that :-( When my .tml file loads it displays the grid table incorrectly, so I am assuming that my object (arrayList) is wrong. Here is my EventLink method which reads the file and assigns it to an arrayList. .... @Property private List newStores; .... Object onProcess() { File file = new File(getAbsolutePath(this.url)); this.newStores = new ArrayList(); if (file.canRead()) { try { // Construct the BufferedReader object this.bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(getAbsolutePath(this.url))); String line = null; while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) { this.newStores.add(line); }// end of while } catch (IOException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } finally { // Close the BufferedReader try { if (this.bufferedReader != null) this.bufferedReader.close(); } catch (IOException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } } } this.result = !this.result; return this.zone; } public String getAbsolutePath(String context) { String url = globals.getServletContext().getRealPath(context); return url; } My grid component displays a header called empty and one column with 8 rows showing false. Like the example below. Empty false false false false false false ...and here is the format of my .csv file in excel would look like: StoreName Store code Card acceptor id Row 1 1234 123 Row 2 1235 234 Row 3 1234 432 Row 4 3453 222 Row 5 234 234 Row 6 4455 3445 Row 7 3445 444 Row 8 4558 222 Thanking you in advance !
