Reading columns?

Question

How can I use the read out loud function to read down columns in a pdf, when it is now reading across columns? 

Answer 1

This code won't compile and is not the best way but should give you and idea. You'll need to add some try-catch blocks.
Use BufferedReader.readLine() to grab each line of text.
Use StringTokenizer to break up each line. In your case the delimiter will be a comma.
Should look something like this:
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("yourFileName"));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
StringTokenizer st;
while ((sb = in.readLine() ) != null)
st = new StringTokenizer(sb.toString, ",");
st.nextToken() -> your chars
st.nextToken() ->your date
st.nextToken() -> your double
etc...
}
