Question

Like the title says, im trying to write a program that can read individual words from a text file and store them to String variables. I know how to use a

You must use StringTokenizer! here an example and read this String Tokenizer

private BufferedReader innerReader; 
public void loadFile(Reader reader)
        throws IOException {
    if(reader == null)
    {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Reader not valid!");
    }
        this.innerReader = new BufferedReader(reader);
    String line;
    try
    {
    while((line = innerReader.readLine()) != null)
    {
        if (line == null || line.trim().isEmpty())
            throw new IllegalArgumentException(
                    "line empty");
        //StringTokenizer use delimiter for split string
        StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(line, ","); //delimiter is ","
        if (tokenizer.countTokens() < 4)
            throw new IllegalArgumentException(
                    "Token number not valid (<= 4)");
        //You can change the delimiter if necessary, string example
        /*
        Hello / bye , hi
        */
        //reads up "/"
        String hello = tokenizer.nextToken("/").trim();
        //reads up ","
        String bye = tokenizer.nextToken(",").trim();
        //reads up to end of line
        String hi = tokenizer.nextToken("\n\r").trim();
        //if you have to read but do not know if there will be a next token do this
        while(tokenizer.hasMoreTokens())
        {
          String mayBe = tokenizer.nextToken(".");
        }
    }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException(e);
    }
}
