Answer 1

You need a BufferedReader:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/BufferedReader.html
for example:try {
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("myfile.txt"));
    String line;
    while ( (line=br.readLine()) != null ) {
     if (line.indexOf("name") != -1) {
         // Store the next two lines.
         // You will need to call br.readLine() again.
} catch (IOException x) {
    x.printStackTrace();
}
