file processing

here's my code so far:

import java.io.*;

import java.util.*;

import java.awt.*;

public class BabyNames {

public static void main (String [] args) throws FileNotFoundException {

Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);

Scanner input = new Scanner(new File("names.txt"));

while (input.hasNext()) {

String names = input.nextLine();

System.out.println(names);

here's a sample of lists of names in names.txt

the numbers are the popularity rating of the name each decade (1950 - 2000)

Muze 100 0 0 230 320

Eryzle0 10 20 30 10

Rica122334 45 45

now my program is printing all of them. what i want is to type a name(for example eryzle) and it will print only eryzle along with the stats.

im new to java so i would appreciate to use simple words or make a code as a suggestion.ty
