It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.

The main thing that you have to remember on this journey is, just be nice to everyone and always smile.

My question is how can i ignore parsing file after this particular line "Some Other third Quote "

I am reading the csv file as shown below

 String csvFile = "ip/ASRER070116.csv";
  BufferedReader br = null;
  String line = "";
  try {
   br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(csvFile));
   while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
    System.out.println(line);
   }
  }

Could you please tell me how to resolve this ??

You can check every line for a substring and break out of the loop when a particular condition is met

//inside the  loop    
if (line.contains("some_string"))
  break;
