+ To handle files that start with a Byte Order Mark (BOM) like some Excel CSV files, you need an extra step to deal with these optional bytes.
+ You can use the
+ BOMInputStream
+ class from Apache Commons IO for example:
+
+ final URL url = ...;
+final Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(new BOMInputStream(url.openStream()), "UTF-8");
+final CSVParser parser = new CSVParser(reader, CSVFormat.EXCEL.withHeader());
+try {
+ for (final CSVRecord record : parser) {
+ final String string = record.get("SomeColumn");
+ ...
+ }
+} finally {
+ parser.close();
+ reader.close();
+}
