    <p>This code is supposed to read one text file of multiple grocery lists and then split them up into an arraylist of separate grocery lists. Then it should split each element of the arraylist (each individual grocery list) into a new arraylist by line. So it's almost like an array list within an arraylist. Does this code work for that? When I try to get the array using the getArray method in my main method and then I print the array but it keeps printing null. What's up?</p> <pre><code>public class Grocery { Scanner input; String groceryLine; String line; ArrayList&lt;String&gt; grocery = new ArrayList&lt;String&gt;(); String groceryString; //ArrayList&lt;String&gt; newString = new ArrayList&lt;String&gt;(); String store; String brand; String serialNumber; String[] newString; public Grocery() throws IOException{ File inFile = new File ("groceryList.txt"); input = new Scanner (inFile); String grocery; while (input.hasNext()) { grocery = input.nextLine(); } } public void makeLists() { while(input.hasNextLine()) { line = input.nextLine(); if(line.equals("-finish-")){ grocery.add(groceryLine); } else { groceryLine = groceryLine + "\n" + line; } } } public String[] getArray() { for(int i=0; i&lt;grocery.size(); i++) { groceryString = grocery.get(i); newString =groceryString.split("\n"); //store = newString[1]; //brand = newString[4]; //serialNumber = newString[5]; } return newString; } } </code></pre> <p>groceryList.txt looks something like: -Start- Store: SuperSupermarket Address: 23 Rose Road Brand: Superfoods Serial Number: 36575 Items: Bread Milk Cheese Ham Soup -finish-(indicates the end of one list) -start-(start a new list like the first one but different store and stuff)</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
