Creating an object array based on the contents of a file

I would suggest you create a class first for storing the information, with name, age, and birthday month attributes. It's a very good practice to override the toString() method so you can print out the class neatly.

Then you can check for each line whether it contains information about the name, age, or birthday month through splitting each line into an array of words, and checking for the information.

Once the line reads "END OF LIST", you can add a class Person with the parameters to the ArrayList.

For the example I used "people.txt" as the file (make sure you place the text document outside of the src folder which contains your .java files).

Main.java

import java.io.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        BufferedReader bufferedReader = null;
        FileReader fileReader = null;
        String name = null;
        String age = null;
        String month = null;
        List<Person> people = new ArrayList<Person>();

        try
        {
            String fileName = "people.txt";
            fileReader = new FileReader(fileName);
            bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(fileReader);
            String line = null;

            while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null)
            {
                String[] information = line.split(" ");

                if (Arrays.asList(information).contains("Name:"))
                {
                    name = information[1];
                }
                if (Arrays.asList(information).contains("Age:"))
                {
                    age = information[1];
                }
                if (Arrays.asList(information).contains("month:"))
                {
                    month = information[2];
                }
                if (line.equals("END OF LIST"))
                {
                    people.add(new Person(name, age, month));

                    name = "";
                    age = "";
                    month = "";
                }
            }

            for (Person person : people)
            {
                System.out.println(person);
                System.out.print("\n");
            }
        }
        catch (FileNotFoundException e) 
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        } 
        catch (IOException ex) 
        {
            System.out.println("Error reading people.txt");
        }
        finally
        {
            if (bufferedReader != null)
            {
                try
                {
                    bufferedReader.close();
                }
                catch (IOException ex)
                {
                    System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
                }
            }
            if (fileReader != null)
            {
                try
                {
                    fileReader.close();
                }
                catch (IOException ex)
                {
                    System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
                }
            }
        }       
    }
}

Person.java

public class Person {
    private String name;
    private String age;
    private String birthday;

    public Person(String name, String age, String birthday)
    {
        this.name = name;
        this.age = age;
        this.birthday = birthday;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString()
    {
        String information = "Name: " + name + "\nAge: " + age + "\nBirthday: " + birthday;
        return information;
    }
}
