    try{
    		BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(new File("Database.txt"))));
    		String line = "";
    		int width = 0, height = 0;
     
    		while((line = br.readLine())!=null){
     
    		if(width == 0){
     
    		String data[] = line.split("-");
    		width = data.length;
     
    			}
    		height++;
     
    		String matrix[][] = new String[height][width];
    		model = new DefaultTableModel(matrix, col);
    		table = new JTable(model){
    		public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column){
    		return false;
    		}};
    		}
    	}catch (IOException ex){

    would like to show the object
    What is "the object" and how do you want to show it? As an image? As lines in a text area? How???

    Please make a small, simple program that compiles, executes and shows the problem.

    Well during your while loop you really aren't storing any data at all. You create the 2D String array afterwards, but all of it's contents are null. You never actually get any data from the input file

    Where does the code assign any Strings to the matrix array? See post#3

    Another problem is that the model and table should be created AFTER all the data has been read from the file and stored in the array. The posted code has that code inside of the loop so it will create a model and table for every line that is read from the file instead of one time after all the lines have been read.

    begin loop to read lines
    Read the lines from the file
    break the lines into parts
    save the lines
    end loop reading lines
    create the model
    create the table

    Think of a 2 dim array as an array of arrays. A one dim array can be assigned to the first dim of a two dim array
      int[][] twoDim = new int[4][];      //  define 2 dim array, leaving second dim size unassigned
      twoDim[0] = new int[]{1,2,3};    //  assign an array to first dim of twoDim
      twoDim[1] = new int[]{5,6,7,8};  //  assign a different sized array to second dim of twoDim
      System.out.println(java.util.Arrays.deepToString(twoDim)); //  print contents of twoDim

    Make a loop to read the lines from the file and save them in the array.
    The code in post#4 had the loop but there was extra code inside the loop that should be moved out.
    The code in post#12 puts one line in the array ok. It needs to be changed to put all of the lines in the array using a loop like in post#4

    You should do it since it is your program and you will be getting the credit for it.
    The more programming you do, the more you will learn. If someone else does it, you will learn very little.
