Hi,
I'm reading up on the use of the RandomAccessFile (and other file I/O)
classes in Java but I haven't found anything that can help me. Is
there any way to read in data structured in a text file, as follows:

Apr 10
"The Book of the Dead"
£17.95
Apr 13
"Unconvention Highlights"
£4.99
Apr 14
"Miserable Quotients"
£0.02

etc. etc.

So that I can do the following (in pseudo code):
read first three lines: first line assigned to date value, second to
book title, third to cost variable
read next three lines: first line assigned to date value, second to
book title, third to cost variable
etc.
