it is something like this ...i want to break it into readable format ...i have tried vector with is the following code.
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class parseCastle {
public static Vector parseInfo(String str) {
int recordSize = 59;
Vector v = new Vector();
for (int i=0; i<str.length(); i+=recordSize) {
String str1 = str.substring(i, i+recordSize);
Vector vi = new Vector();
vi.addElement(str1.substring(0, 35));
vi.addElement(str1.substring(35, 41));
vi.addElement(str1.substring(41, 49));
vi.addElement(str1.substring(49, 59));
v.addElement(vi);
return v;
//constructor
parseCastle(){
try
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream("castle.txt");
File fprop = new File("castle.txt");
byte[] data = new byte[(int)fprop.length()];
int total = fin.read(data);
if (total != data.length) {
System.err.println("Error loading file");
return;
//System.out.println(data.length);
Vector v = parseInfo(new String(data));
for (int i=0; i<v.size(); i++) {
Vector vi = (Vector)v.elementAt(i);
for (Enumeration e = vi.elements(); e.hasMoreElements();)
System.out.println(e.nextElement());
System.out.println();
//*** Alternative ***
//for (int k=0; k<vi.size(); k++)
// System.out.println(vi.elementAt(k));
catch (IOException e)
     System.out.println("Error: "+e);
     e.printStackTrace();
But it gave me error. like it exceeds array boundary...can someone expert help me out

You should be aware that these kind of effort always involves certain amount of risk because the proper record format is not hundred percent guaranteed. So, make sure to use properly formatted file, or genuine database instead.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.regex.*;
public class ParseCastle2{
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
    String line, data;
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("castle.txt"));
    br.readLine(); //discard #Server Ready line
    line = br.readLine();
    Pattern pat = Pattern.compile("([ .A-Za-z]+)([/0-9:]+)");
    Matcher mat = pat.matcher(line);
    Pattern subPat = Pattern.compile("(\\d+):(\\d\\d:\\d\\d)(.+)");
    while (mat.find()){
      System.out.println(mat.group()); // if name only, use group(1) ... beware trailing space
      data = mat.group(2);
      Matcher subMat = subPat.matcher(data);
      while (subMat.find()){
        System.out.println(" cdID = " + subMat.group(1));
        System.out.println(" Time = " + subMat.group(2));
        System.out.println(" Date = " + subMat.group(3));
