Delete and update contents in a CSV File

Hi All,

I am new to java . I am able to read the records from CSV file using BufferedReader and I am getting output like this

"100,a100,1b100" -->1st record

"200,b200,dc300" -->2nd record

"400,f344,ce888" -->3rd record.

Now I need some help in below requirements.

1.How to delete a specfic record?

2.If record already exists how to update the existing record with new values?

Please share your ideas or give me some code snippet..

Thanks in Advance

# 1

1. Read data into memory. (appears you have already got this working)

2. Modify data

3. Write date back to file.

Or if each record is the same length and you are not inserting -

just modifying values in existing ones - you can use a

RandomAccess file.

No..records are different length.

And also I dont want to create a new file and rename the old file.

I have to do update and delete in the same file.

Any help or code snippet appreciated.
