Java reading a file into an ArrayList?

Question

How do you read the contents of a file into an ArrayList<String> in Java?

Here are the file contents:

cat house dog . . . 

Just read each word into the ArrayList.

Answer 1

This Java code reads in each word and puts it into the ArrayList:

Scanner s = new Scanner(new File("filepath")); ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(); while (s.hasNext()){     list.add(s.next()); } s.close(); 

Use s.hasNextLine() and s.nextLine() if you want to read in line by line instead of word by word.
