	BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
	 
	String strLine;
	String[] myarray;
	myarray = new String[10];

	myarray[j] = br.readLine();
	}
	                 
	}
	in.close();
}}

You probably shouldn't copy code but instead copy ideas found in code, and write your own code. If you did this you'd likely first create a method, such as a main method, and place your code in it. Right now you've got code that belongs in a method or constructor sitting out naked in the class, and this will never work.
