Returning strings of the same name in a text file from an array

Question

Hi,
Another quick question. I have a text file with lines consisting of one integer, and four strings. Currently, I am able to search through this file and find any of the variables listed within. However, if any of the variables are listed more than once, and I search for that particular varable name, it only prints out the first line containing that particular variable name.
Basically, how do I modify the following code so that the search method returns all the instances of a particular variable name in the text file?
My current code is as follows,
1. Search method,
public Title lookUpDirector(String requiredDetails) {
        boolean found = false;
        int next = 0;
        while (!found && (next<TitleCount))
            if ( TitleArray[next].getDirector().equals(requiredDetails))
                found = true;
            else next++;
        if (found) return TitleArray[next];
        else return null;
    }2. Test main class
import simplejava.*;
public class SearchTitleDirector
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String titleDetails;
        SimpleReader keyboard = new SimpleReader();
        SimpleWriter screen = new SimpleWriter();
        SimpleReader inFile = new SimpleReader("title_test.txt");
        TitleList title = new TitleList(inFile);
        TitleList[] sortedArray = new TitleList[]{title};
        titleDetails=keyboard.readLine("Director?");
        Title search = title.lookUpDirector(titleDetails);
        if (search == null)
            screen.println("Not found");
        else screen.println(search);
}Any help or advice appreciated!

Thanks for the reply and advice.
I have tried implementing the lookUpDirector method as follows,
public TitleList lookUpDirector(String requiredDetails) {
        boolean found = false;
        int next = 0;
        TitleList list = new TitleList();
            while (!found && next<titleCount) {
                if ( titleArray[next].getDirector().equals(requiredDetails)) {
                    list.add(titleArray[next]);
                    next++;
          if (found) return list;
          else return null;
        }When I use this method with the previous test main class, it compiles and runs, but after the user inputs the name of the director to search for, the input window freezes indefinitely and no result is achieved. The output pane in NetBeans is as follows,
init:
deps-jar:
compile-single:
run-single:
Director?The only way to stop the process is to terminate it in the Runtime section of NetBeans.
I have no idea why this is happening. Any advice?
