Read text from a file and hold in an array

[wales123]

Hi Im trying to read lines from an external file and hold them in an array for future use using java.
I can read the file and print its contents but im not sure on the next step to hold the info in the array.

The information in the file looks similar to this
00001 1 3 2
00002 3 2 1

With first number is the number of a ballot paper and the next three numbers are ranks of three candidates by preference.

Any help much appreciated

This is the JavaSCRIPT forum.

About the only similarity between Java and JavaSCRIPT are the first four letters of their names.

If you are really asking a JAVA question, you are in the wrong forum.

a mod will eventually move it, but it can take a while.

Just close this thread (mark it as RESOLVED using the "thread tools") and start a new one in Java forum.

Why not PM a mod, or simply use the Report This Post link. I have done that for you.
