Hi guys, what im trying to do is have a transfer function so that say for example i can transfer $100 from Johns account to Jacks account. Below is the code for the AtmDataFile Class and the ATMTransfer class.I would greatly appreciate some help on this project =).

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class ATMDataFile {
  public static String datafilename = "ATMData.txt";
  public static int lines = 0; // Number of lines in ATMdata.txt
  public static int lineNo; // Line number of the opperative account
  // Create a File object called "datafile" to see if "ATMdata.txt" exists
  static File datafile = new File(datafilename);
  // Declare a 2 dimensional array to hold account details
  // First three values are only used if no datafile exists.
  static String[][] account_inf = {{"John","Savings","12345","4444","100"},
                                      {"Jack","Manager","54321","0000","100"},

    // If ATMdata.txt exists run loadData method

      loadData();
      // Debug code

      // If no datfile exists run the writeNewFile method
    } else {
         writeNewFile();
