Use CSVReader from opencsv.CSVReader for a String

Question

I would like to use the CSVReader in opencsv to read a string of comma separated values. I have used this reader with a multipart file in the past wherein the following would be done: CSVReader reader = new CSVReader(new InputStreamReader(fileName.getInputStream());

This is fine for a multipart file however I cannot find a solution for this if I simply want to pass in a string e.g. one line of CSV's.

Character set conversions aside, shouldn't something like new ByteArrayInputStream(string.getBytes()) basically do the job here? — Marco13

You can use java.io.StringReader. Example:

final String inputString = "value1,value2,value3";

try (CSVReader reader = new CSVReader(new StringReader(inputString))) {
    // Your code here
}
