Reading tsv files in java

[shailesh333]

Hi all,
Could anyone tell me , how I can read ".tsv" files in Java.
Earlier the same module required me to use files of type "xls". I was able to find
an api "JExcelApi" which mae it very easy to read cell values by row and column index. I now need to convert same file into a ".tsv" file and read it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance...

A lot of csv libraries have configurable separators, e.g. this one.

Is it a tab separated values file? If so then a good old FileReader/BufferedReader pair can do the job.
