java - Program only reads the first line in the file -

i trying read file contains name on line followed numbers on second line. 3rd line name , 4th numbers , on.

i tested on main method. example file contains name "bobby" , telno 123456, when run lookupentry("bobby"), should telno returned me. works if name "bobby" first name on file. if isn't first, program doent seem recognize name , returns me null. been cracking @ , unable see problem. please advice if see any. thanks.

//directoryentry class , contains string name , string telno along set/ methods them.  private directoryentry[] thedirectory = new directoryentry[100]; private int size = 0;  public void loaddata(string sourcename) {         try {             scanner in = new scanner(new file(sourcename));              while (in.hasnextline()){                 string name = in.nextline();                 string telno = in.nextline();                 thedirectory[size] = new directoryentry(name, telno);                 size++;             }             in.close();         }catch (filenotfoundexception e){             system.out.println("file not found.");         }     }  public string lookupentry(string name) {         find(name);         if (find(name) >= 0){             return thedirectory[find(name)].getnumber();         }         else{             return null;         }     }  public int find(string name){         (int x=0; x < thedirectory.length; x++){             if (thedirectory[x].getname().equals(name)){                 return x;             }             else{                 return -1;             }         }         return  -1;     }

in find method, traverse array, use if, else block. basically, if name you're looking isn't @ index 0, code jump else statement , return -1.

edit: wait sorry, don't see using function in main code anyway... still should fix.

edit 2: that's not main method... scratch again...

fixed code:

public int find(string name){     (int x=0; x < thedirectory.length; x++){         if (thedirectory[x].getname() != null && thedirectory[x].getname().equals(name)){             return x;         }     }     return  -1; }
