Variable entries in property file

I was wondering is there a good way to setup and read in variable
entries in a property file? I wasn’t to have from 1-many Ip/port value
pairs but won’t know in the program how many their might be

Example:
Ip1=128.1.1.1
Por1t=2001
Ip2=128.1.1.2
Port2=2002
Ip3=128.1.1.3
Port3=2001

Thanks,

Frank

I think there is something like "load" that will put all that is there into
an array for you.

You are thinking of java.util.Properties. It is basically a HashMap
with "load" and "save" methods to read and write property files, and
should do the job for the original poster.

Actually it is a subclass of Hashtable. It is a very good example of
inappropriate use of inheritance when containment was the better answer.
