Store BufferedReader Data into an ArrayList

[Alex Richards]

EDIT: RESOLVED

Here is my code so far:

            int row = 0; 
	        int col = 0;

	        String fileInput = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, 
	                "Please enter the path of the CSV file to read:");

	        File file = new File(fileInput);

	        BufferedReader bufRdr;
	        bufRdr = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
	        String line = null;

	        // Construct a new empty ArrayList for type String
	        ArrayList<String[]> al = new ArrayList<String[]>();
	 
	        // DATA STORAGE TO OCCUR HERE.
	       
	        // Convert ArrayList to String array
	        String[][] numbers = (String[][]) al.toArray(new String[al.size()][16]);
               

I'm not sure what I should put to store the data from the BufferedReader into the ArrayList. Any ideas?

String line = bufRdr.readLine();
while (line != null)
{
  al.add(line);
  line = bufRdr.readLine();
}

I would imagine the I/O code is also going to require some try/catch blocks for IOException and the like. The compiler will let you know.
