What have you tried so far? Why didn't it work? Remember that this is not a code request service.

I have a question as to your data file format. For the user named "ram", there's no colon between "age" and "45". Is that on purpose, or just a typo?

Here's a little something in pseudo code though, that should get you started.

print table headers;

open file;
read from file unless a blank line is found;  # skip over the code lin
+es
while we can still read from the file {
    read the next line;
    if it's a "Name(:)", "age(:)", or "phone(:)" line, store the piece
+ of data in memory
    if it's a blank line {
        print the table row;
        clear the stored pieces of data from memory;
    }
}
close the file;

print table footers;
