Trying to insert text from file to 2D array. Java. Text is different formats

So I have a text file containing ints, doubles, strings that I need to read into a 2D array. there Array should have 6 columns but the rows are not known until you read the entire file. I'm guessing it is some 700 rows This is what I have so far. If I eliminate the array it prints fine but with the array I keep getting errors. I have searched many questions like this but they usually only work with ints/doubles. Also please don't recommend arrayList as that has not been taught in our course.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class TitanicApp {


    public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException {
       String[][] array=null;
        int i=0, j=0;
        String fileLine;
        String s;
        Scanner scannerIn=null;
        BufferedReader inputStream=null;
        try{
            inputStream = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("titanic.txt"));
            scannerIn = new Scanner(inputStream);

            while ((fileLine = inputStream.readLine()) != null){
                for (j=0;j<6;j++){

                    array [i][j]=scannerIn.next();
                    System.out.println(array[i][j]);
                    i++;
                }
            }
        }
        catch (IOException ex){
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

Sample text in file :

1   1   Allen, Miss. Elisabeth Walton   female  29  211.3375
1   1   Allison, Master. Hudson Trevor  male    0.9167  151.5500

And the output should be :

[ [1,   1,  Allen, Miss. Elisabeth Walton,  female, 29, 211.3375]
  [1,   1,  Allison, Master. Hudson Trevor, male,   0.9167, 151.5500]
]

I have a txt file containing the above info (and more lines) and I need to put it into a 2D array. I had to remove more than half of it since there was a limit.
