Loading .csv data into anarray
I am a beginner and would like to know how to load .csv data into an array.
Data:
"Leader",0,"Safety","00.00
"Leader",0,"Plotter","00.0
"Super",1,"Printer","00.02
Loaded in rows and would like each comma delimited be a column

Definitely for that kind of csv, use a dedicated parser as Valeri mentioned at the start. Personally i found opencsv to be slightly buggy (iirc) and have often used the Ostermiller csv class.
I don't know whether it's a copy-paste error, but your csv looks ill-formed:

Instead of reading from a .csv file, the data is stored in a static array.
"Leader",0,"Safety","00.00
"Leader",0,"Plotter","00.0
"Super",1,"Printer","00.02
How would I loop through the array to access for example:
frst row column 1 which is Leader, column 2 which is 0, column 3 which is Safety
second row column 1 which is Leader, column 2 which is 0, column 3 which is Plotter
"Leader",0,"Safety","00.00
"Leader",0,"Plotter","00.0
"Super",1,"Printer","00.02
