Parsing a text file

guys. I have a task and would like to hear your advice on implementation details.

I have a file which contains information about clients and their accounts.

FIRST_NAME=Joe
LAST_NAME=Bishop
RECEIPT.0.ID=123
RECEIPT.0.CURRENCY=USD
RECEIPT.1.ID=3654
RECEIPT.1.CURRENCY=EUR
.......................
CARD.0.TYPE=VISA
.......................

FIRST_NAME=Peter
LAST_NAME=Swalsky
...............

And so on. So I need parse this information into classes like Account etc. Shall I use Scanner class with certain match pattern and parse information step by step or there might be another elegant way to do that? Thank you so much in advance.

This looks like a valid Properties file, so java.util.Properties might help. It can load those files.
