I am not seeing why this code will not generate the output to my JFrame after it takes the input from the text file? How can I tweak this code to do that? Take input from file and display it on JFrame...

                    JTabbedPane jtpane=new JTabbedPane();
                    JPanel jpan=new JPanel();
                    JTextArea txt=new JTextArea();
                        FileReader f = null;
                        try {
                            f = new FileReader("PatientCollect.txt");
                        } 
                        catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
                            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                            e1.printStackTrace();
                        }

                        BufferedReader brk=new BufferedReader(f);       
                        String s;
                        try {
                            while((s=brk.readLine())!=null){
                            txt.append(s);
                            }
                        } 
                        catch (IOException e1) {
                            e1.printStackTrace();
                        }
                        jpan.add(txt);
                        jtpane.addTab("Tab1",txt);
                        this.add(jtpane);   this.setVisible(true);

Where do you add jpan to your tabbed pane?

Good catch! But now another issue which I've been troubleshooting for hours, in c++ this would have been easier...I just can't get this loop to take in the records below without giving me an input mismatch exception or null pointer exception...

        DOB.SetMonth(m);
