    Default Text Input into seperate arrays help

    Hi

    For a program I'm required to write for uni I need to take an input and split it into seperate arrays. The input is to be like this:

    Word
    Description

    Word
    Description

    ect

    and I need to be able to take all of the words and seperate them then put them in an array, and the same for the description.

    This is my first year of Java programing and I struggle inputing files to arrays. I haven't wrote any code for it yet as I don't have any idea how to do it. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    So how far can you get on your own? Where are you stuck? What do the error messages say?

    If I were given an assignment that required knowledge of subjects that had not been introduced in class notes or textbook assignments or anything else, I would probably try to find tutorial material on the subjects.

    If I had not already completed any programs in Java and I didn't have a text book or class notes with examples, I might start here: Getting Started in Java

    If I had already written a few small assignments (not involving Arrays or Input/Output) and if I were comfortable with the whole process of compiling and executing Java programs, but needed some material that I was not familiar with, I might look at places like the following:

    Arrays Tutorial

    and

    I/O Tutorial

    I would look at examples and copy them, maybe making minor changes so that I could try to understand the details.

    Then, if I found something that I really didn't "get," and if I couldn't find an explanation within the tutorial material, I would post a specific request for specific help along with code that I had tried and along with any compiler error messages or program output that I didn't expect.


    Cheers!
