Extract columns from text file

Hello all,

I have a text file with columns of words

Boat Car Van
Sue Bird Hue
Billy Don Yoe...

How do I read each separate column into separate arrays.

Array 1 will read:
Boat
Sue
Billy

Array 2 will read:
Car
Bird
Don...

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this.

Thanks

Re: Extract columns from text file

read the file line by line
split the read line on empty character
strings received this way store in your arrays
