interactive java

Guys i'm back again. I know this might sound a bit daft on my part but forgive i'm still a novice.
I've done the hard part of the question but i'm stuttering on the construction of a class that will enable users to enter towns in the command prompt and all details for that particular town pop up.
I've done the following , and forgive i've changed the codes so many times because i'm constantly getting errors and hence it looks a bit messy, someone fresh needs to have a look.
Just to remind the format for each town is eg NAMMOTH:NM:280520:-10550:440:464
Nammoth being the town, NM(county code),280520 lat,10550 lon, 440km (east coord) and 464km (north coord).
please feel free to ask me further ? , if u don't understand my ?, i can hardly understand it myself.

THANK YOU

sorry the more structred prg is as:
import java.io.*;
public class cities
{
      public static void main(String[] args)
{

       try
       {
            FileReader file=new FileReader("towns.txt");
            BufferedReader buffer=new BufferedReader(file);

            int town_name;
            String town = "NAMMOTH:NM:280520:-10550:440:464";
            if line==town_name.=(NAMMOTH)
       {
            System.out.println("Town Found");
       }
try
{
            while((textline = buffer.readLine()) !=null)
                  System.out.println(textline);
                  buffer.close();


             }
             catch( IOException e )
             {
                  System.err.println("IO Exception");
                  System.exit(1);
}
       catch(FileNotFoundException fnex)
       {
            System.out.println("Couldn't find file");
            System.out.println(":" + fnex.getMessage());
            System.exit(1);
       }
}
