Please post the code you are having problems with, your questions and the full text of the error messages.

you could do what your doing right now or you could a csv library
just google csv for java

Post the work you have done so far.

What you could do is read the file, line by line into a String. Then use split to remove the commas and put it into an array.

String line = "Apples,bananas,oranges";
String[] dataArray = line.split(",");          

The above uses a simple array, but it should be easy enough to put it into a matrix.

If you're using NIO, and the file is small, there is also readAllLines method to consider.
