Read a multiple file textfile with strings and doubles and input info to database

[Tearstar]

I have a textfile that I need to read each line separated by \n

Every 3 lines I need to reset the array

The textfile may contain 100-1000 lines and every 3rd line is a double while the rest are strings, then I need to take each cluster of 3 lines and input that into a database.

I have the database connection, I can read the entire file, I just can't figure out how to break the file into clusters of 3 lines

So something like
Array[0] = Cluster1 String1
Array[1] = Cluster1 String2
Array[2] = Cluster1 Double
Array[0] = Cluster2 String1
Array[1] = Cluster2 String2
Array[2] = Cluster2 Double

Here is what I have so far, which will output the whole file

public void test()
    {try
        {
            // Open the file that is the first 
            // command line parameter
            FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream(file);
            // Get the object of DataInputStream
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fstream));
            String strLine;                        
 
            ArrayList<String> lineList = new ArrayList<String>();    // create an arraylist populated by lines in the textfile
            String thisLine = br.readLine();
 
            while (thisLine != null) {
                lineList.add(thisLine);
                thisLine = br.readLine();
            }
 
            // used to output the method results as a test
            // comment this out before finalizing
            int w = 0;
            for (String testLine : lineList) {    // enhanced for loop
                System.out.println("Line " + w + ": " + testLine);
                w++;
            }
                fstream.close();
            }catch (Exception e){//Catch exception if any
            System.err.println("Error: " + e);
        }
    }

Use a FileReader instead of FileInputStream for reading character files.

Declare a variable before the loop and increment it for every read. Reset it to zero every time it reaches 3.
