Having trouble reading input from file

[FatHead]

I have data in a data file eg.

31 1 1193 Ages Ago
15 7 2011 Description Here
6 5 2011 Which is able to go up to 10 different words

The first column determines the day, then the month, then the year and a description.

I want to sort the days, months, years and the descriptions into 2d arrays so that ill be able to sort them into chronological order.

Which file reading command would be best to achieve this?
