Alternative to properties file for reading a list?

Hello, I know how to use property files to load variables from a document. However I am trying to load, for example, a file with every line being read into a array. How would I go about doing this? Thanks.

 

Google BufferedWriters and BufferedReaders

 

So I would basically use readline in a loop?

 

That is one way of doing it.

 

I'll give it a shot thanks

One quick question, how would I determine how big the array should be?

You can't determine how big it is, unless you know ahead of time how long the file is.

 

Okay and unfortunately there isn't a size command so I can't even use a dynamic array. Would it be possible to read the files into a list and then convert the list into an array or should I just set the size of the array to some arbitrary large constant like 100 or something?

Why are you not reading it into a List?

 

I was going to read in to a array directly.
