read numbers and string from textfile into a vector

[new2jav]

I am trying to read the below textfile into a vector.
I have create a class Student, and then I’ve call the file reader to read in line, but then how do I make it read all names, then all numbers and all notes and put it in a vector.
I am stuck here, any hint most welcome.

Text file :
sally
175
notes on students
mark
180
notes on students

A vector/arraylist deals w. objects. You must define
a Student class that takes the lines of initial values
in its constructor like:
read name,
read points,
read notes,
create Student object w. the three values,
store in vector (v.addElement(aStudent))
read name,
read points,
read notes,
create .... etc.

The you retrieve it like

Student aStudent=(Student)v.elementAt(i).

For simplicity you could implement the equals method in
you Student class to enable lookup in the Vector like

public void boolean equals (Object ob) {
  if (!(ob instanceof Student) return false;
  Student someStudent=(Student)ob;
  return this.name.equals(someStudent.name);
}

With this in place you can do like:

if (v.contains(someStudent)) ....
or
int ix=v.indexOf(someStudent);

Without the implemented equals method the contains and indexOf methods just compares pointer (address) values, and that is ok just for rare occations...
