Finding A Piece Of Text Within A Text?

Question

Hi.
I am trying to create a program to find a piece of text within a file (containing text). I know that my life could be made much easier if I had the util.java.regex package but it doesn't seem to import.
I am working on a Windows XP Platform.
I have tried the Hello World program which works fine but it is just trying to import this package...

Answer 1

I am trying to work through this slowly so that I can understand each stage... so where I have come upto now is why does the following code not compile. I am just interested in taking a .txt file at the standard input which is used to serach against an Actor's name that I specify in the next (argument?) line?
Thanks for all the help
My Code so far...
import java.io.*;
// This line always has to be put in
public class MyFirstFileReadingAppTwo
          // Main method
          public static void main (String args[])
          // Stream to read file
          System.out.print("Enter your filename: ");     
          BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileInputStream (System.in));
          String userName = null;
          try
          // Open the input stream
          String file = br.readLine();
          BufferedReader reader2 = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
          // Read a line of text
               System.out.println(new
               ln(new (fin).readLine() );
          // Close our input stream
          fin.close();          
               // Catches any error conditions
               catch (IOException e)
               System.err.println ("Unable to read from file");
               System.exit(-1);
}
