java - Only put a certain number of lines in a char array -

i have file 2939 lines, , trying save 5 lines in 1 index of 2d char array. so,

 char [][] myarray;  myarray[0] = {} //<--char array of first 5 lines  myarray[1]= //char array of next 5 lines 

the way implementing is:

int countlines=0;  while (sc.hasnext() countlines <5) { //sc scanner    //read each line , append string builder    //then convert stringbuilder char array ,    //store in myarray[0]     countlines++;  } 

i stuck on part of storing next 5 lines in myarray[1]. appreciated. thanks!

you can try this

while(sc.hasnext()) {     if(countlines < 5) {         //store in myarray[0]     } else if(countlines >= 5 && countlines < 10) {         //store in myarray[1]     }     countlines++;  }
