[luxx]

I have a list of test which I want to place into an array. How would I take text from a file, line by line, and then place each line into its own array element? Something like this:
Bob Hall
Cliff Jackson
Casey Waters

myArray[0] = Bob Hall, myArray[1] = Cliff Jackson, myArray[2] = Casey Waters

one of possibilites:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class FileToArray {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
FileReader fileReader = new FileReader("testfile");
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(fileReader);
List<String> linesList = new ArrayList<String>();
String newLine = null;
while ((newLine = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) { linesList.add(newLine); }
bufferedReader.close();
String[] lines = linesList.toArray(new String[linesList.size()]);
for (String line : lines) { System.out.println(line); }
System.out.println(lines[1]);
}
}
