Urgent Help to convert text file to XML

Question

I have a text file containing data. The file has following format:
Name               : ABC Consultants
Address               : B50, 5th Street,
               Sector 70,
               Salt Lake
               Calcutta-700048

Designation          : Senior Consultant

E-mail               : [email protected]
Website               : www.abc.com
Nature of Business     : HR consultancy
Cities of Operation     : All over India & Abroad
Other Information     : Company specialises in providing top executives to MNCs and corporate giants like IBM, Oracle and Microsoft.
There is information regarding other companies in the similar way.
The objective is to create a XML file out of this text file by proper tagging like
<name> company name comes here </name>
<address> company address comes here </address>
..so on
My approach:
I am trying to read from the text file and store the contents into a vector object. Then I would use the vector object to create different nodes of the XML file through JDOM.
My vector object is getting created but when I am writing it back , it is giving garbage value.
Is my approach correct ..Please Suggest..
Thanks in advance..

Following is the code, which i have written. I am writing the contents to another text file - "output.txt"
<CODE>
try{
     // Open an input stream
BufferedReader inputData = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("companyList.txt"));
String buffer = null;
while ((buffer = inputData.readLine()) != null)
     {StringTokenizer words = new StringTokenizer(buffer, ":;");
Object[] lineData = new Object[words.countTokens()];
int counter = 0;
while(words.hasMoreTokens())
     {lineData[counter] = words.nextToken();
counter++;
data.addElement(lineData);
Object[] obArrayData = new Object[data.size()];
for(int i=0; i<data.size(); i++)
     {     obArrayData[i] = (Object[]) data.elementAt(i);}
//write to a text file
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("C:\\Projects\\com\\gayatrii\\convertor\\output.txt");
for(int i = 0; i < data.size(); i ++)
fw.write(data.elementAt(i).toString()+" \n");
fw.close();
</CODE>
