		} while (selection != 0);
	}
}

This is my Code, I'm trying to get it to read a text file that contains citys and temperatures.


when I press Option 1 I need it to read the file and store it, not print to screen.
The 2nd option then needs to print the file to screen.
then I need to sort the citys into alphabetical order using some sort of an array.

Please help me, as I havent got a clue how to do this!

Thanks

Well you have the BufferedReader object created, now you just need to set it up to open a file. Then you can use that object to read lines of the file.

BufferedReader in =  new BufferedReader(new FileReader("<path to the file here>"));

Then you can use the methods of the BufferedReader class to read in text. Check out the link below to see the class' methods. Notice there is one called readLine(). This will read a line from the file and returns NULL when it hits the end of the file.

I figured out how to read the file but I now need to, get it not to print to screen first, then my 2nd option prints to screen then I need to sort the data in alphabetical order using an array (I think) but I have no clue how to do this! (see revised 1st post)

Thanks
