java - Read textfile with repeating entries into list (similar to properties) -

is there proper way read textfile this

picture = germany correctanswer = germany otherletters = klbcdop  picture = italy correctanswer = italy otherletters = ouilmnkds  picture = egypt correctanswer = egypt otherletters = ywmpsadch  picture = usa correctanswer = usa otherletters = klpomnagsyw 

and store data in - example - list? access data calling

string picture = list.get(0).get("picture"); string otherletters = list.get(0).get("otherletters"); ... 

sure, manually, there not better way this?

as far concern question, can create arraylist of hashmap below.. replace d:\file_to_read.txt file path..

    try {         file file = new file("d:\\file_to_read.txt");         filereader filereader = new filereader(file);         bufferedreader bufferedreader = new bufferedreader(filereader);         string line;         hashmap<string, string> map = new hashmap<string, string>();         string arry[] = null;         arraylist<hashmap<string, string>> list = new arraylist<hashmap<string, string>>();         while ((line = bufferedreader.readline()) != null) {              if ("".equals(line)) {                 list.add(map);                 map = new hashmap<string, string>();                  system.out.println("blank");             } else {                 arry = line.split("=");                 map.put(arry[0].trim(), arry[1].trim());             }          }          string picture = list.get(0).get("picture");         string otherletters = list.get(0).get("otherletters");           filereader.close();     } catch (ioexception e) {         e.printstacktrace();     }  }
