    tree map help

    I have written the code below, but now i am compleatly stuck!! i need to change this code to read in a name from the user then search the treemap for that name and return that name.
    The names are stored in a txt file like:
    john anderson:0123456322
    jim collet:0176849323
    Is it possible to put these names and number in the tree map, and have name as a key and number as a value, then search the treemap?? pls help!!

    Code:
    class Treemap {  
      public static void main(String[] args) {     
        Map phoneBook = new TreeMap();    
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("directory.txt"));    
        String line;     
        while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {        
          String line = in.readLine();             
          int pos = line.indexOf (":");      //So use String.substring to get the parts of the line.           
          String name = line.substring (0, pos);            
          String number = line.substring (pos + 1);
          phoneBook.put (name, number);

    I'm confused. What's the problem? You've already populated the Map with the data from the file.
