Hi!. Here's a method that will read a text file:

Code:

public static Vector<String> loadFile(String filename){
    Vector<String> strings = new Vector<String>();
    try{
        FileReader file = new FileReader(filename);
        BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader(file);
        while (true)
        {
            String line = buffer.readLine();
            if (line == null)
                break;
            else {
                strings.add(line); 
            }
        }
        buffer.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
    }
    return strings;
}

Using this method and Math.random(), you can access random lines in your text file. Lets assume that each question is on a separate line in the text file. Your main() method could look like this.

Code:

public static void main(String[] arguments){
    Vector<String> data = loadFile("questions.txt");
    int pos = (int)((double)data.size() * Math.random());
    System.out.println("Next question: " + data.get(pos));
}

Remember to add the imports:

Code:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

My code has been checked by hand, so just scream if there is a problem.
