I have to create array lists of objects based on the information from a text file.

The text file structure is:

name1, attribute

name2, attribute2

In this case, I have to read the text file and create 2 array lists named "name1" and "name2" with their respective descriptions but the name of the array lists can change based on the text file used.

What would be a way to accomplish this ?
