HELP - Buffered Reader

Question

Below is a portion of my program, its a simple app, that is supposed to read a policy number, and then display the results. I can't get it to read the file, or output onto the app. Any help would be appreciated.
the file is called loans.txt and a line looks like this...
12322|Smith, Dennis|456 Westfield Blvd|Westfield, IN 46033|$2,500|1/1/2001|7/11/2005|None
public void GetFile(){
//User's entered policy number is stored here
String Policy_Num_Entered = SearchFor.getText();
/*If the the policy is found in loans.txt, sucess will be changed to 1,
otherwise it will stay 0 and be used to output a "I'm Sorry message*/
int sucess = 0;
//Try Catch Block
try{
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
//Access the first line of loans.txt
String line = br.readLine();
//Read the # of lines in loans.txt
LineNumberReader read = new LineNumberReader(new FileReader(file));
//Assign the # of lines to count
int count = read.getLineNumber();
//Item being looked by the String Tokenizer
String Item;
//For loop, looping the # of times a line must be read
for(int x = 0; x < count; x++){
//While Line is not empty, proceed
while ( line != null )
//Read individual words of the line from loans.txt
StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(line, "|");
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//While the line has more words
while(tokenizer.hasMoreTokens() )
//If Word equals "The" add 1 tot he sum
if(Item == Policy_Num_Entered){
//Fill in policy Number
Policy_Number.append(Item);
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Fill in First and Last Name
Name.append(Item);
//Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Name.append(" " + Item);
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Fill in Address
Address.append(Item);
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Address.append(" " + Item);
//Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Address.append(" " + Item);
//Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Fill in City, State and Zip Code
City_St_Zip.append(Item);
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//City_St_Zip.append(" " + Item);
//Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//City_St_Zip.append(" " + Item);
//Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Fill in Loan Balance
LoanBal.append(Item);
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Fill in Loan Effective Date
LoanEffDate.append(Item);
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Fill in Maturity Date
MatDate.append(Item);
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Take all the words that are left to fill in Notes
//while(tokenizer.hasMoreTokens() ){
Notes.append(" " + Item );
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//end of while has more tokens
//Item found so change to 1
sucess = 1;
//Break out of the loop
break;
}//end of If
//Grab the next word
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
}//end of while tokenizer
}//end of while
//Read the next line
line = br.readLine();
}//for loop
if(sucess == 0)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(Finalapp.this, "I'm sorry the Policy " +
Policy_Num_Entered + " was not found. Please try "+
"again.");
//Close the buffered Reader, and close the .dat file
br.close();
}//End of try
//Catch any errors that may have occured in the reader
catch(IOException exception)
exception.printStackTrace();
}//end of catch
}//end of GetFile

Ok I know that my line reader was messing up, so it was never running the loop, my new code reads like this...
public void GetFile(){
//User's entered policy number is stored here
String Policy_Num_Entered = SearchFor.getText();
/*If the the policy is found in loans.txt, sucess will be changed to 1,
otherwise it will stay 0 and be used to output a "I'm Sorry message*/
int sucess = 0;
//Try Catch Block
try{
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("loans.txt"));
/*FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream("c:\\loans.txt");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( file) );*/
//Access the first line of loans.txt
String line = br.readLine();
//Read the # of lines in loans.txt
LineNumberReader read = new LineNumberReader(new FileReader("loans.txt"));
//Assign the # of lines to count
int count = 7;//read.getLineNumber();
Policy_Number.append(count + " ");
//Item being looked by the String Tokenizer
String Item = null;
//For loop, looping the # of times a line must be read
for(int x = 0; x < count; x++){
//While Line is not empty, proceed
while ( line != null )
//Read individual words of the line from loans.txt
StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(line, "|");
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//While the line has more words
while(tokenizer.hasMoreTokens() )
//If Word equals "The" add 1 to the sum
if(Item == Policy_Num_Entered){
//Fill in policy Number
Policy_Number.append(Item);
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Fill in First and Last Name
Name.append(Item);
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Fill in Address
Address.append(Item);
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Fill in City, State, ZIp Code
City_St_Zip.append(Item);
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Fill in Loan Balance
LoanBal.append(Item);
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Fill in Loan Effective Date
LoanEffDate.append(Item);
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Fill in Maturity Date
MatDate.append(Item);
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Take all the words that are left to fill in Notes
Notes.append(" " + Item );
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
//Item found so change to 1
sucess = 1;
//Break out of the loop
break;
}//end of If
//Grab the next word
Item = tokenizer.nextToken();
}//end of while tokenizer
//Read the next line
line = br.readLine();
}//end of while
}//for loop
if(sucess == 0)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(Finalapp.this, "I'm sorry the Policy " +
Policy_Num_Entered + " was not found. Please try "+
"again.");
//Close the buffered Reader, and close the .dat file
br.close();
}//End of try
//Catch any errors that may have occured in the reader
catch(IOException exception)
exception.printStackTrace();
}//end of catch
}//end of GetFile
