How to read a text file into a multi dimensional array in pseudocode?

Question

I have the multidimensional array: Sales (Town, Month, Product)

I have a text file containing the following:

"ABC" Jun 50 "DEF" Apr 100 "HIJ" Jun 90 "KLM" Jun 55 "NOP" Jun 65

Where the first word is Town, the second word is month & the third word is product. It then repeats for the 4-6 words, 7-9 words, etc.

How would I read my text file into the multidimensional array in pseudocode?
