Java: Reading a file into an array

by

Here is some example code to help you get started:

package com.acme;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class FileArrayProvider {

    public String[] readLines(String filename) throws IOException {
        FileReader fileReader = new FileReader(filename);
        BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(fileReader);
        List<String> lines = new ArrayList<String>();
        String line = null;
        while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
            lines.add(line);
        }
        bufferedReader.close();
        return lines.toArray(new String[lines.size()]);
    }
}

And an example unit test:

package com.acme;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.junit.Test;

public class FileArrayProviderTest {

    @Test
    public void testFileArrayProvider() throws IOException {
        FileArrayProvider fap = new FileArrayProvider();
        String[] lines = fap
                .readLines("src/main/java/com/acme/FileArrayProvider.java");
        for (String line : lines) {
            System.out.println(line);
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps.
