Looking at the javadoc

if you create a CSVReader object, then you can use the method .readAll to pull the entire file. It returns a List of String[], with each String[] representing a line of the file. So now you have the tokens of each line, and you only want the second element of that, so split them up as they have been nicely given to you with delimiters. And on each line you only want the second element, so:

public static void main(String[] args){
    String data = "63,Graham,101153.06,Abraham";
    String result[] = data.split(",");
    System.out.print(result[1]);
}
