Answer 1

here's the code partially
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException
        String s1 = null;
        String s2 = null;
        String s3 = null;
          BufferedReader inFile1;
          BufferedReader inFile2;
          BufferedReader inFile3;
          BufferedReader in;
          in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
          inFile1 = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("list1.dat"));
          inFile2 = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("list2.dat"));
          inFile3 = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("list3.dat"));
          s1 = inFile1.readLine();
          s2 = inFile2.readLine();
          s3 = inFile3.readLine();
       System.out.println(s1);
          for(String z1 = inFile1.readLine(); z1 != null; z1 = inFile1.readLine())
            System.out.println(z1);
          System.out.println(s2);
          for(String z2 = inFile2.readLine(); z2 != null; z2 = inFile2.readLine())
            System.out.println(z2);
        System.out.println(s3);
          for(String z3 = inFile3.readLine(); z3 != null; z3 = inFile3.readLine())
            System.out.println(z3);
        String s = s1.substring(s1.indexOf(" ") + 1);
          System.out.println(s);
          //trying to go to line 2 not position 2 after the space
        System.out.println("---------------");
