Hmm..is there an cleaner way of doing this?

Question

is there any way to modify this code so that it keeps asking the user for the file name, until the user gives the correct file name ("address.txt")? any help is appreciated
          StringTokenizer tokenizer; // declare tokenizer
          String inData; // declare inData
          ExtPerson person; // person
          try //try statement
          System.out.print("Enter file name: "); // prompt user for file name
          inData = keyboard.readLine(); // read user input
          BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inData));
        String input = inFile.readLine(); // read line from text
          do // begin do-while loop, while its not end of file, read rest of file
               tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(input);
               fName = tokenizer.nextToken(); // read first name
               lName = tokenizer.nextToken(); // read last name
            input = inFile.readLine(); //read line
               tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(input);
               month = Integer.parseInt(tokenizer.nextToken()); // read month
               day = Integer.parseInt(tokenizer.nextToken()); // read day
               year = Integer.parseInt(tokenizer.nextToken()); // read year
               sAddress = inFile.readLine(); // read street address
               c = inFile.readLine(); // read city
               s = inFile.readLine(); // read state
               z = inFile.readLine(); // read zip
               pNumber = inFile.readLine(); // read phone number
               pStatus = inFile.readLine(); // read person status
               input = inFile.readLine(); //read line
               // calls ExtPerson and puts data in ExtPerson contructor
               person = new ExtPerson(fName, lName, month, day, year, sAddress, c, s, z, pNumber, pStatus);
               // uses insertLast and puts data in adBook
               adBook.insertLast(person);
          }while (input != null); //end of do-while
          } // end try
          catch(FileNotFoundException e) // catch, if wrong file is entered, display messages
          System.out.println(e.getMessage()); // default invalid file message
          System.out.println("Please enter another file name. "); // prompt directions
          System.out.print("Enter file name: "); // prompt user for file name
