My very last problem:)

Question

Ok. here we go again I guess..
I got this table. which data I save in txt file "hello.txt".
Each CellData is put in there seperated by an |
example:
(columns are: name, country, score)
Bush, George|United States|0|Kennedy, John F.|United States|1|Blair, Tony|United Kingdom|15|
now I need a function or anything which can read these data a part from each other, read Bush, George, then reads, United States, then reads 0.
in this function it also needs something like this:
o=1
i=0
while (there is more info in hello.txt) {
if (i != 3) {
read first word
table.setValueAt(FirstReadInfo,1,0)
int i + 1
table.setValueAt(SecondReadinfo,1,1)
int i + 1
table.setValueAt(ThirdReadInfo,1,2)
i=0 (reset while statement)
addRow()
now my question is:
How to read word by word seperated by |
How to see if there is more info in txt file.
this really is the last thing for my project:)
Thanks so much for all youve done so far.
Thanks again for whats coming

You could try a Scanner as below....
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ScanFar {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        Scanner s =
            new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("farrago.txt")));
            s.useDelimiter("|\s*");
        while (s.hasNext()) {
            // enter your code here
            System.out.println(s.next());
        s.close();
}Or a regular expression might be better in that you could trap all three elements at once
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("([^|]+)|([^|]+)|([^|]+)");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(your input string);
while(matcher.find()) {
            match.group(1); // this is the first ( ) or the name
            match.group(2); // this is the second ( ) or the city
            match.group(3); // this is the thrid ( ) or the score
        }
