Please HELP!

I have to input data from a text file into an array. I also must be able to edit this data such as remove an object, add an object, find an object etc.

For example:

ID Name Salary
923948290 Lucas Kleins 30.000
293589435 Ricardo Silva 23.000
891345013 John Reid 30.000
901394503 Jose Jack 23.000
913453498 Joe Geui 24.000

How can I input this and be able to find the indexes?

What code do you currently have? What have you tried? What are you stuck on (other than all of it, that doesn't count as an answer)?

If those are your requirements, an array is not appropriate. Use a List of (say) Employee objects

I must use arrays, I have to have an abstract class and create methods myself to accomplish these tasks. I just want an overview of how i should start.

I already have classes set up with constructors and mutator methods.

Then create Employee[]. You can either 'remove' by setting elements to null or creating a new one and copying elements

I pretty much have to create my own arraylist from using arrays which uses text file.

Well, then you need to do what i suggested earlier and resize the array as needed. Start by making the Employee class
