read txt file

[pikkas]

i have this method to read data from a text file.

Code:

    StringBuffer fileData = new StringBuffer(1000);
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filePath));
    char[] buf = new char[1024];
    String line;
      while ((line=reader.readLine())!=null){
        String f[] = line.split("\t");
            if (line.contains(loginname))
    {
   fileData.append(line);
    }
}
    reader.close();
    return fileData.toString();

If i have a text file with data like this

Username: faton
password: 6655

i want to read in to my string only the words faton and not the whole string Username: faton
Any help?

Read in the entire String, then lop-off what you don't need.

Read the API docs for String. The methods you're interested in are
1) substring, combined with indexOf
or
2) replaceFirst / replaceAll
