Java Programming

Hey guys.

I read in a csv file which contains 2 small lines.

String line = null;
      try {
			
    	    FileReader fr = new FileReader("c:/product/products2.csv");
			BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
			
			while( null != (line = br.readLine() ) ) {
			  System.out.print(line +"\n");
			   }
          }    
		  catch (Exception e) {
		    e.printStackTrace();
		    }

works grand, but now i want to transfer the contents of br into an array so i can split the commas in the csv file and then transfer the single words of the csv file into an individual string variable.

The thing is i cant seem to figure out how to convert br (contents of csv file) into an array. I keep getting nullpointer errors if i try and put br in string array or arraylist. Can some one please point me in right direction.
Thanks
Mark
