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.
