Help with multidimensional arrays

I have a space deleminited text file I need to read in and store in a multi dimensional array...

ex.

toothpaste shampoo chocolate

book pencil

paper eraser book shampoo

I need to be able to read in the file and store it in a multi dim array. I read in each line and store

it in a string and then use the split function to parse it... how do I assign it to an array.

Any help would be appreciated.

Why? Multi-D arrays are IMO often a sign of lacking OOD.

String[][] whatever = new String[19][];

whatever[0] = line.split(...);
