Java is by no means something I am comfortable with...In fact, I have no real experience with it. But I was asked to place a ticker-type object on the top of one of my Sharepoint sites. I have found a decent ticker that displays information as the senior persons want. This ticker should show sales figures...What I want to do is have this ticker read an external file of ANY sort (XML, html, text)...getting one line at a time and put that line into an array to be displayed.
But I have no clue how to make this happen...I have the following from the web sample I found that holds the data statically...
If someone can help me figure out how to get these values from any external file into an array, I would be greatly appreciative. As I said I don't know JAVA, but even if you can point me to a GOOD example of how to do something like this, I might be able to figure it out. THANKS.

Code:
var news=new Array()
news[0]="Sales 8/21/2007 -- 210,456"
news[1]="Sales Month To Date -- 1,245,456"
news[2]="Sales Year To Date -- 12,345,678"If someone can help me figure out how to get these values from any external file into an array, I would be greatly appreciative.
