Hi, I am trying to create my own model to populate a JTable. I have a
deliminated text file. An example from the file is:

500005~Electrical~~0~0
500006~Electrician~~1~0.1

I have created a class that reads the file and searchs on a criteria. The
first column above is the criteria. I then populate a vector with the
results. I then need to cast the vector to an array.

My code to read the file and populate the vector is as follows:

public Vector readFile() throws FileNotFoundException, IOException
{
  int n;
  String s;

  Vector objects=new Vector();
  FileInputStream in=new FileInputStream(getFile());

  while((n=in.available())>0)
    {
      byte[] b=new byte[n];
      int result=in.read(b);
      if(result== -1) break;
      s=new String(b);
      String lineSep=System.getProperty("line.separator");
      StringTokenizer fileToken=new StringTokenizer(s,lineSep);
      StringTokenizer lineToken;
      while(fileToken.hasMoreTokens())
        {
          String nextLine=fileToken.nextToken();
          String[] row;
          if(nextLine.startsWith(searchCiteria))
              {
                lineToken=new StringTokenizer(nextLine, "~");
                row=new String[lineToken.countTokens()];
                int i=0;
                while(lineToken.hasMoreElements())
                  {
                    row[i]=lineToken.nextToken();
                    i++;
                  }
                 objects.add(row);
              }
        }
    }
    return objects;
}

As you can see I have a vector 'objects' returned.

My question is the how do I cast that vector to an array?

My original array is as follows:

String [][] theData ={
                                  {"this", "is", "a", "test"}, {"THIS",
"IS", "A", "TEST"}
                                };

Sorry for the long question.

Any help is appreciated.
