how to read the string from file using RandomAccessFile?

Question

my file content contains four columns

001 mike 1122 98
002 stephen 1232 97

Using RandomAccessFile i need to store the each column in its respective array types.

readInt() is used to read Integer of column 1

how can i read the strings(column 2) to store in string array?

if we use readUTF() it shows EOFException. – Sundyp Krishna Apr 02 '14 at 12:11 — Sundyp Krishna, Apr 02 '14 at 12:11

what about using readline

and then using a tokenizer to identify you cells

and then populating your arrays ?

(in that case the RandomAccessFile is probably overkill)
