I need help badly.... I had a program to retrieve information from the datafile unfortunatelly, my program did not run as I expected. I had a datafile.txt with the following information: 

User Name           UserID         Phone#

I am looking for a program something to match User Name with the USer 
+ID, if the User Name and UserId are matched then, it print out the ph
+one#.

My program at this time is not mathing the user Name and USer ID but m
+atching all including the Phone#. So when I put User Name = myname an
+d USerID=1, the output is all the phone # that had a number 1, and th
+e UserId that had a 1 #.

Please, if anyone have a simple program like this ..please help. I wou
+ld appreciate your help.
Thanks
