  <p>In Java I can open a text file like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file.txt"));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My question is, how do you read from the following file? The first line is a number (830) representing number of words, and the following lines contain the words.</p>
  
  <pre><code>830  
  cooking   
  English  
  weather  
  .  
  .  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to read the words into a string array. But how do I read the data first?</p>
