This Java tutorial shows how to read a text file and store the values in an array.

Suppose you have a file having the rows as shown below:

java,30,120|python,23,178|c++,15,164;

The below example will read these values and will store them in an array.

public List loadPeopleFromFile(String path) {
        List result = new ArrayList<>();
        try {
            try (Scanner s = new Scanner(new File("datos.txt"))) {
                s.useDelimiter("[|,;]");
                while (s.hasNext()) {
                    result.add(new Person(s.next(), s.nextInt(), s.nextInt()));
                }
            }
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();   
        }
        return result;
    }
