BufferedReader - reading in a line

I am trying to store each line of the file "fixtures.txt" as a String in the array fixtures[]. I have used a similar method in a different class, but for some reason it won't read, it just keeps throwing the exception.

publicvoid getUpcomingFixtures(){

String line ="";

int n = 0 ;

try{

File fixturesFile =new File("home/andy/1/Project/src/fixtures.txt") ;

FileReader fixturesFileReader =new FileReader(fixturesFile) ;

BufferedReader fixtureIn =new BufferedReader(fixturesFileReader) ;

n = 0 ;

while ( ( line = fixtureIn.readLine() ) !=null ){

fixtures[n] = line ;

n++ ;

}

fixtureList.setListData( fixtures ) ;// update list with fixtures

}catch (Exception e){ e.printStackTrace() ;}

}

i also tried it with the following change (assuming "fixtures.txt" is 20 lines long)

while ( n < 20 ){

line = fixtureIn.readLine()

fixtures[n] = line ;

n++ ;

}

It's probably a simple mistake, as I am reusing code from another class. Can anyone help me please?

Thanks
