Can someone show an example of how to load data into an array using a txt file?

I am having trouble loading data into an array.

Ok. I create an array of int, like so:

int numbers[] = new int[10];
for (int i=0, i < 10, i++){
numbers[i] = 5;
}

for (int i=0, i < 10, i++){
System.out.println(numbers[i];
}

Unless I've done it wrong, output should be:
5
5
5
5
5
and so on.

Ok so here we go,

File f = new File("text.txt");
BufferedReader b = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
String s = "";
while(b.ready())
 s += b.readLine();

//after this just use s.substring & s.index of to incrementally move through your string
//while storing each substring in your array
//i recommend using ArrayList and then using .toArray()

hope this helped

You mean an array of lines ?

File f = new File("text.txt");
Scanner scan = new Scanner(new File("myFile.txt"));
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
while(scan.hasNextLine())
 list.add(scan.nextLine());

yeah assuming that your data was stored line by line and not seperated by commas etc

We are really in hypotithecal situations and the OP didn't mentionned what it really wants
If it is a coma separated data in each line:

File f = new File("text.txt");
Scanner scan = new Scanner(new File("myFile.txt"));
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
while(scan.hasNextLine()) {
  String[] token = scan.nextLine().split(",");
  for(String str : token)
     list.add(str);
}

or if he wants the array per line

File f = new File("text.txt");
Scanner scan = new Scanner(new File("myFile.txt"));
ArrayList<String[]> list = new ArrayList<String[]>();
while(scan.hasNextLine())
  list.add(scan.nextLine().split(",");

but until the OP specifies more clearly what he wants this discussion is useless
