I already realize that I would display them using a toString from my resource class, but I'm perplexed on how that would work. Don't get me wrong; I know how to make java read text/dat files, but I'm not to sure how to loop them after reading the file, and creating objects based off the file. Also how would I get the scanner to read a string and a number?

Here's what's in the text file:

cheese 12 12.50
sausage 15 21.89
peppers 10 15.05
pineapple 40 33.00
pepperoni 11 10.22
olive 9 8.99

there are plenty of resources available to refer in the internet. for example
Reading a text file line by line and storing an object in the array[^]
Reading a file line by line while storing an object in an array for each line[^]
Reading a text file in Java[^]
try to implement based on those and if you have issue ask question with your code and the problem details ( with error details if any)
