A little bit of (hopefully helpful advice): 1) Don't do this: String name = new String(); Strings are immutable. Why create an object just to destroy it? 2) Look into using the split(" ") method of String. This will create a String array that can be easily manipulated. You can read about it in the String API. Good luck.
