yes, that was the lasting in my mind to do.. if I do this then "what's the point of learning line 7" for what I've read in a tutorial it will output that name (for sure) and as an add up to my knowledge it does print the whole thing as long as there is the name "Cobray" on it. Actually to tell you all I didn't know that it will turned out like this what I'm thinking is that if the code runs it will just output name "Cobray" So sorry for being such a noob.. That's why Im running this test for better understanding..

What im after is how can I print that name without changing the input file.. For what I see the only solution is using either split or grep.. Is there other way if i dont want to use those.. thanks sir JavaFan,GrandFather and davido :)
