Unfortunately the Java file I/O stuff is pretty obscure, but what you
need to do is pretty simple: Open the raw file (openRawResource) and
then read lines from the resulting InputStream. Of course, reading
lines from an input stream has been made stupidly complex by the Java
JDK designers, so you have to use something like this:
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(inputStream, "UTF-8"));
int i = 0;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
TEAM_SCORES[i++] = line;
}
This of course is ignoring exception stuff, and assumes you know the
array size in advance. If you don't know the array size you'd use an
ArrayList or some such and convert to an array after all is read.
(Obviously, with this scheme the file is just a list of your data
records, one per carriage-return-terminated line, with no XML markup
and no quotes.)
