parsing a line of text into multiple values

This can be very basic question ... I am working with Java. I am parsing a file in one of my classes. Each line in the file has 3 arguments (currently). I want to use one generic collection to store all the values at once

something like List<String, String, String (and more args if needed)> list = new ..... The number of arguments might increase later.

I am creating arrays right now to separate out individual args but that is not a proper solution. How can I declare a collection like that?

use List<List<String>>

Using above collection you can have a List<String> on each index of the List.

To summarize it:

Each List<String> will correspond to a line in that file

and List<List<String>> will correspond to the entire file
