Read text file into an array

Question

I want read a text file into an array. How can I do that?

data = new String[lines.size]

I don\'t want to hard code 10 in the array.

Use a List instead. In the end, if you want, you can convert it back to an String[].

BufferedReader abc = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(myfile));
List data = new ArrayList();
String s;
while((s=abc.readLine())!=null) {
    data.add(s);
    System.out.println(s);
}
abc.close();
