Re: reading a part of a txt file

You can use a Scanner or the String.split() function.

"\t" is the tab character.

Re: reading a part of a txt file

it works with 1 part, but when i put it into an arraylist, it wont compile

Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. for (int i = 0; i<FileList.size(); i++)
  2.         { 
  3.  
  4.             System.out.println(FileList.get(i).split("\t"));
  5.         }

Re: reading a part of a txt file

Well, I would imagine it told you why as well, rather than simply stating "This won't compile".
