How to associate lines in a text file as an elements of the Vector?

Question

Hi!
I have used BufferedReader(new FileReader(c:/java/MyText.txt)) to read from MyText.txt file. Now I know how to load content of this file (every line in file describes each photo in my photo-set) into a Vector. But how to associate lines of MyText.txt as an elements of the Vector?
Thanks Felipe for his help.

Thank you telism,
Let me tell you the whole story.
I'm trying to write an application which has to show my image files (set of photos) with a text description. The list of image files placed into the JList. So, when I select a file from the JList it shows me an image (everything is OK).
But, every image has it's text description in MyText.text file. It's a file with each text line for every image. Actually, I am trying to connect two actions - showing my image and setting it's specified text line description (from MyText.txt) in a JTextArea. I thought that the best way to do this with my text it is like I did it with my images through Vector. But No Success.
Can You help me on that? If You will show me how to do it on my example I will really appreciate it.
Thank You DM.
Here is my application:
