Read comlumn from text file

Question

i have a text file of record some thing like
last name first name email
how can i make it read the text file column by column
i created a class with linkedlist to put it in but can't make it recognize which is which
(code)
public void NewTail( String i, String f, String l, String m, String p)
if (stu == null)
stu = new ListNode(i, f, l, m, p, null);
else
ListNode temp = stu;
while ( temp.next != null)
temp = temp.next;
temp.next = new ListNode(i, f, l, m, p, null);
}(/code)

Answer 1

then from the class i use
record st = new record();
         FileReader file = new FileReader( "student.txt");
         BufferedReader inputFile = new BufferedReader( file);
         int ID = new Integer( inputFile.readLine()).intValue();
         while( ID > 0)
            String first = inputFile.readLine();
            String last = inputFile.readLine();
            String email = inputFile.readLine();
            String phone = inputFile.readLine();
            st.NewTail(ID, first, last, major, numcoursepre);
            ID = new Integer( inputFile.readLine()).intValue();
         }but this only read line by line it won't read by column i mean i read the whole likne but i can't make it distinglish which is which which is first name and which is last name
i want to be able to get email if i just want email but can't get thing to know please help thank you
