Help needed

Need some quick help. Its for my first year project for university and am having trouble getting started (due partly to being a bad programmer and partly because going for a drink with friends is more appealing). I have been asked to
Read in a variable number of portfolios from the text
file exampleportfolios.txt. the first integer
in this file is the number of portfolios it contains
. You should create an array in the main method
to store these portfolios (open the text file
and varify the the format).
any help would be much appreciated for any part of the problem. Thank you

Surely you don't want someone else to do the assignment for you. When I was in class, people gave money to geeks for things like that. But no money changes hands here (even though some of us are geeks), so the best we can do is help you with code that isn't working. What do you have so far?
