    Default Beginner Project

    So i am working on a java project for my first semester programming class and I have code here with an error I am stumped on.

    The user will input the file name containing equipment information from the terminal. The program will read from the file and put the lines into a tokenizer which will separate the tokens in accordance to commas.

    My current code:

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


    public class Project4
    {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws FileNotFoundException
    {

    String fix;


    Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.println("Welcome to Transport Canada");
    System.out.print("Please enter text file: ");
    String filename = in.nextLine();

    File file = new File(filename);
    Scanner inp = new Scanner(file);

    fix = MTBF(inp);

    System.out.println(fix);
    inp.close();

    }
    public static String MTBF(String fixing)
    {
    StringTokenizer strTokenizer = new StringTokenizer(fixing, ",");
    while(strTokenizer.hasMoreTokens())
    {
    fixing = strTokenizer.nextToken();

    }
    return fixing;
    }
    }


    The input file looks like this:

    Secondary,456,3:2011,1,1,4,1
    Primary,457,4:2011,2,0,2,2
    Backup,458,5:2011,10,11,4,3


    So where are my errors, what am I doing wrong and most importantly...HOW FIX!?
    Thank you for your time

    Can you show what the problem is? Print out what you read and all of what you process that shows your problem.
