I'm an Engineer and graduated like a month ago. Not a single teacher in 4 years of my graduation taught me in such a good way ! Thank you Alex ❤️🇮🇳

[@jglee6721]

I think Alex mentioned that he didn't have a good teacher thus he started these videos to help others. Thank God he is a world class teacher and 196K subs at this point in time speaks louder than words.

[@StevenRafael268]

Thank you so much for this super useful video! this saved my butt with my assignment haha

[@bmax5928]

You, my guy,the most unrated youtuber ever!

[@ap-pv7ug]

You no longer need separate catch statements to catch each individual error. You can just use a vertical pipe to separate types.

[@muhannadrawajfeh6891]

You are a savior 🙏 Best tutorials keep it up!!

[@ferfykins]

Excellent video, thanks Alex.

[@Rajdeep11082]

To write into a file, try (PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(file))) { pw.write(“data to append) } catch (IOException e) { // Handle the exception }

[@Rajdeep11082]

It is not a good idea to read and write into the same file, it would be better to create a diff file for writing if you perform read operation simultaneously, and later if needed, files can be merged easily

[@ghostcavalry]

Thank you soo much it was exactly what I was looking for 2 days..

[@F1rstNameLastName]

I spent 3 hours trying to figure out how to do this because my uni lecturer is awful at explaining things and makes everything overly complicated, but then I bumped into this and figured it out within the first 9 minutes.

[@arturopresa6552]

Thanks so much for you explain what I needed to understand!

[@latedeveloper7836]

[@pablocastaneda9699]

Dude excellent video!

[@0xBK201]

Thanks again, Alex.

[@vhonjoe8843]

nice tutorial

[@RKarnage]

Hi! Great video! How can I attach each comma separated value to a variable rather than naming the value in the print()?

[@Cr8Tron]

Definitely giving kudos for the clear and concise tutorial you gave...👍 I can't help but ask, however; Why only how to *read* ? Why not also include/explain a method of *writing* to a new or existing csv file? DISCLAIMER: I realize, full well, that a bigger question would obviously be why they never bought up csv/tsv files the entire time I was earning my bachelor's in this stuff. 🙄

[@KJ7JHN]

hey Alex, is it more common practice to put the while loop inside the try catch statement? or put a try catch inside a while loop?

[@tamirleventer2905]

ty so much you are a king

[@leekbiel]

Thanks Alex!!!

[@thinktech2936]

Very good explanation

[@mattvertucci2229]

[@christianw1490]

can you do the same tutorial for a 2 dimensiol array? Great video tho and very easy to understand

[@drcl7429]

Don't forget to do a close() on the bufferedreader. Best to put it in a Finally{} block following try-catch.

[@saniketsoni]

Awesome 👍

[@user-cj8qh7ez5z]

thanks bra, great video

[@IRON_BEATz]

I have been struggling with Java since starting it for the last few weeks and felt like I'd given up because I couldn't get my code to do exactly what you just shown. Thank you so much... you may have just saved me from failing my Assessment :)

[@osamugaming1807]

If you are using Windows and it seems there's an Exception showing up in String path just change the \ backslash to / forward slash

[@user-rs2yx6zc8q]

Will you post more videos? I love your videos

[@Eurotool]

Do you think you could do a "Shortest path algorithm" video?

[@nuwaver91]

Thank you very much for this useful tutorial! Just one thing, I didn't catch why we need at 11: String line = "";

[@lilishisa6687]

תודה!

[@alexlorenlee]

Thank you!

[@Seth_fighting]

Do you use "WindowBuilder" plugin for eclipse when making GUI's? If so will you make a tutorial? I read that it was easier to use this plugin in making GUI's

[@w4rd3nclyffe74]

Thanks man, but can you make some videos in a use of XML serialization and son library? that would so good 'cause csv sounds like more messy than json and XML 💖

[@akshithachennupati7278]

could u please make a video on storing datasets into graphical neural networks using java

[@nishitadash971]

Will it be possible to access a particular row of values[x]?

[@mariavictoriairrebaria3410]

Can you also explain how to read the csv file into two dimensional array?

[@lamb8086]

About how long of someone learning Java would you say should understand this information clearly? Hopefully that made sense

[@Mr_Oszy]

thanks alot, what if file need to be fragments into m blocks ?

[@itaybroder2037]

[@PruthaBharti]

It be really helpful if tell me wich apps do u use to code java PS: I'm new subscriber and loving your videos, wish could have found you sooner

[@merowareinstance]

I would use one of the following 3, intellij (www.jetbrains.com/idea/download), eclipse (www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/kepler/sr1/eclipse-ide-java-developers) or netbeans (netbeans.org/features/). Per what I see in the videos, Alex uses eclipse. Good luck!!!

[@noone-hi6kq]

Not bad, man. I hate almost all youtubers but it is good

[@faraimukona7052]

How would take the info you printed in the console and save those lines in another file?

[@TheFreeZe123]

Perfect Video! But could you add for your next Tutorials the code to download somewhere? :D

[@anonym0us__537]

Thank you so much...😊🙏 . Just one doubt , Is it possible to search for a particular value,like just one name like "Alex" and the program will print all the corresponding values which we need..?
