Simple array program help

Question

Hello could I please have some hints as to how to get this program working e.g. would it better to use a while loop for this? and how would I make the program stop when it has read 100 names?
cheers anyone
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
* The problem with files is generally you don`t know how many values
* are in there. Develop a program to read names from a file - it carries
* on and reads names until either 100 is reached or there is no more
* data in the file. Display all the names read in together with the
* count of how many names have been read.
class Names100
     public void process (String[] argStrings)throws Exception
          int namesRead = 0;
          Scanner sc = new Scanner(new File("names.txt"));
          String[] namesArray = new String[100];
          for(int i = 0; i <= 100; i++)
               namesArray[i] = sc.next();
               System.out.println(namesArray);
               namesRead++;
          System.out.println();
          System.out.println("Names read: " + namesRead);
          sc.close();

> Thanks, the way that I have been taught at UNI means
that I have a separate file called names100App (this
is used to run the program).
Ok, I understand.
> The scanner is to get
the content of the file although I could have used
other things I guess.
Yes, but the Scanner class is mighty handy.

Good, and while you're at it, take a look at the ArrayList class (resizable-array implementation):

Good luck.
