Java program help!.please

[cbtshare]

hey guys , I would like to read info from a file e.g
[inline]
10
999990 Gerry Boudens
$1000.00
999991 Jimmy Chow
$1500.00
[/inline]

it is a credit card program, so the user would input their name and the program searches for it, if found it should show their credit card number and balance.Also users are suppose to be able to call them to display individually as well as be able to change these values.

My code is below, any HELP would be greatly welcomed, even references that will help me.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import type.lib.*; 
import java.lang.*;

public class MyFileReader{
 
   

  public static void main(String[]args)throws java.io.IOException
  {
    Scanner fileInput = new Scanner(new File("a2.txt"));
    //java.io.File file = new java.io.File("a2.txt");
     //Scanner fileInput = new Scanner(file);
    PrintStream output = System.out;
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    int count = 0;
     String Quit = null;   
          
    //START OF MAIN MENU
    
    output.println("MAIN MENU");
    output.println("----------");
    
    output.println("1 - Make purchase");
    output.println("2 - Make payment");
    output.println("3 - Change credit limit");
    output.println("4 - View credit limit");
    output.println("5 - View credit card balance");
    output.println("6 - View credit record");
    output.println("7 - Output entire database");
    
    
    output.println("Quit -    Exit database");
    
    
    output.println("Enter the number refered to your selection: ");
    
    String inputs = input.nextLine();

     
    for (; !inputs.equals("Quit"); inputs = input.nextLine())
  {
     if     (inputs.equals("1"))
     {
             output.println ("Enter full name of the card holder");
             String chname = input.next();
          
             
       for  (; fileInput.hasNext() ;)
      {     String temp2 = fileInput.next().toLowerCase(); 
            String temp = chname.toLowerCase();
        
       if  (temp.equals(temp2))
         {  output.println("Enter Purchase amount: "  );
           
         }
      
      }//close of for name on file         
            
           fileInput.close(); 
           output.println("Name not in Database: "  );  
     }//close of if choose 1
       
      if   (inputs.equals("7"))
     {
        for (; fileInput.hasNext() ;)
         {
      
         String temp2 = fileInput.next(); 
           
          output.println(temp2);
          } 
        
     }//close of if choose 7
     
     
            
   }// main for statement
    
          
    
    
    fileInput.close();
    
    }
    
  }

also: if I enter a name to be searched in the file, it only recognises the first name:

and your problem was?

[cbtshare]

My problem is I cant get to call the entire name of the individual, the credit limit and the credit card number separatly, which would help in me displaying the users info, when his/her name is found.

Can you not use some kind of data base in lieu of flat file ?

No, you have come to the wrong site if you want a program given to you.
