Reading from a text file in Java -

I have a text file like this:

  items 1 item 2 item 3 < / Code>  
 I should be able to read every "item X" in a string and ideally all the stars must be stored in the form of vector / arreiilist.  
 I tried:  
  InputStream = new FileInputStream ("file.txt"); is read(); // looped for every line of text   
 but it seems that only handles integer.  
 Thanks   
 
 
 You have a lot of answers here, the easiest of us For a scanner (java.util).  
 There are several types of feature such as nextLine () and next () and nextINT (), so that you can do the following:  
  scanner scanner = new scanner (New file ("file.txt")); & Lt; String & gt; Text = new arreelist & lt; String & gt; (); While (scanner.hasNextLine ()) {text.add (scanner.nextLine ()); }   
 Alternatively you can use a buffered reader (in java.io):  
  BufferedReader Reader = new BufferedReader (New FileReader ( "File.txt")); & Lt; String & gt; Text = new arreelist & lt; String & gt; (); (String line; (line = reader. Readline ())! = Null;) {text.add (line); }   
 However scanners are usually easy to work on.
