You need to do something like this for your case:-

int i = 0;
while((str = in.readLine()) != null){
    arr[i] = str;
    i++;
}

But note that the arr should be declared properly, according to the number of entries in your file.

Suggestion:- Use a List instead(Look at @Kevin Bowersox post for that)

Suggest use Apache IOUtils readLines for this  See link below   http   commons apache org proper commons-io apidocs org apache commons io IOUtils html

I would recommend using an ArrayList  which handles dynamic sizing  whereas an array will require a defined size up front  which you may not know   You can always turn the list back into an array   BufferedReader in   new BufferedReader new FileReader  path of text     String str   List lt String gt  list   new ArrayList lt String gt     while  str   in readLine       null       list add str      String   stringArr   list toArray new String 0

You can use this code  This works very fast  public String   loadFileToArray String fileName  throws IOException       String s   new String Files readAllBytes Paths get fileName         return Arrays stream s split  quot  n quot    toArray String    new

When you do str   in readLine       null you read one line into str variable and if it s not null execute the while block  You do not need to read the line one more time in arr i    in readLine     Also use lists instead of arrays when you do not know the exact size of the input file  number of lines    BufferedReader in   new BufferedReader new FileReader  path of text     String str   List lt String gt  output   new LinkedList lt String gt      while  str   in readLine       null       output add str      String   arr   output toArray new String output size

Try this   String   arr   new String 3     if size is fixed otherwise use ArrayList  int i 0  while  str   in readLine       null                arr i      str   System out println Arrays toString arr

Just use Apache Commons IO  List lt String gt  lines   IOUtils readLines new FileInputStream  path of text

User · Answer

This should work because it uses List as you don t know how many lines will be there in the file and also they may change later    BufferedReader in   new BufferedReader new FileReader  path of text     String str null  ArrayList lt String gt  lines   new ArrayList lt String gt     while  str   in readLine       null       lines add str     String   linesArray   lines toArray new String lines size
