Я думаю, что это довольно просто:
public static void main(String... args) throws IOException {
ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> rows = getRandomData();
if (rows.size() == 0)
throw new RuntimeException("No rows");
// normalize data
int longest = 0;
for (List<String> row : rows)
if (row.size() > longest)
longest = row.size();
for (List<String> row : rows)
while (row.size() < longest)
row.add("");
if (longest == 0)
throw new RuntimeException("No colums");
// fix special characters
for (int i = 0; i < rows.size(); i++)
for (int j = 0; j < rows.get(i).size(); j++)
rows.get(i).set(j, fixSpecial(rows.get(i).get(j)));
// get the maximum size of one column
int[] maxColumn = new int[rows.get(0).size()];
for (int i = 0; i < rows.size(); i++)
for (int j = 0; j < rows.get(i).size(); j++)
if (maxColumn[j] < rows.get(i).get(j).length())
maxColumn[j] = rows.get(i).get(j).length();
// create the format string
String outFormat = "";
for (int max : maxColumn)
outFormat += "%-" + (max + 1) + "s, ";
outFormat = outFormat.substring(0, outFormat.length() - 2) + "\n";
// print the data
for (List<String> row : rows)
System.out.printf(outFormat, row.toArray());
}
private static String fixSpecial(String s) {
s = s.replaceAll("(\")", "$1$1");
if (s.contains("\n") || s.contains(",") || s.contains("\"") ||
s.trim().length() < s.length()) {
s = "\"" + s + "\"";
}
return s;
}
private static ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> getRandomData() {
ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> data = new ArrayList<ArrayList<String>>();
String[] rand = { "Do", "Re", "Song", "David", "Test", "4", "Hohjoh", "a \"h\" o", "tjo,ad" };
Random r = new Random(5);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
ArrayList<String> row = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int j = 0; j < r.nextInt(10); j++)
row.add(rand[r.nextInt(rand.length)]);
data.add(row);
}
return data;
}
Вывод (довольно некрасиво, поскольку он случайный) ( убегает ):
Re , 4 , "tjo,ad" , "tjo,ad" ,
"tjo,ad" , "a ""h"" o" , , ,
Re , "a ""h"" o" , Hohjoh , "tjo,ad" , 4
4 , David , , ,
4 , Test , "tjo,ad" , Hohjoh , Re
Do , Hohjoh , Test , ,
Hohjoh , Song , , ,
4 , Song , , ,
4 , Do , Song , Do ,
Song , Test , Test , ,
