Including commas when writing to csv file in java, with different string each time

Question

I'm writing a program where I need to write data to csv. However the string what I'm writing to csv has some commas. So when I'm writing to it I'm getting values in different fields, which I don't want Eg: my string will come like : 165328,1234582,21346 I'm getting output as each value in one field, but I want the string as it is in one field

        while((s=lnr.readLine())!=null)
        {
                     str=s.split(" ");
                     br.write(str[7]);
        }

Please add the required thing to get the desired output. Eg : the string I'm writing will look like this 165328,123482,123414...

Write the string which contains comma in double quotes and then write it into the csv file with File Writer or any writer you wish .

 value="\"" +value + "\"";
 fos.append(value);
