Using JOptionPane to print reports

Question

Okay so now I got my code to compile and run, but the output is incorrect now. I need to be able to select an option and then for 2, and 3 have 3 additional options after selecting that option. How should I adapt my coding to do this?

Task:

List of all information
List of all surgeries for a specific doctor (prompt for the doctor)
List of all surgeries of a specific type (prompt for the surgery type)
Total amount of surgery fees paid to each Doctor
Average Fees

Data File (patient.txt):

11111,Smith,Norris,Thyroid,1000.00    
11112,Obama,Norris,Lasek,500.00  
11113,Hoover,Norris,Dental,100.00  
11114,Cena,Norris,Lasek,500.00  
11115,Leto,Norris,Thyroid,1000.00  
22221,Clark,Bond,Thyroid,1000.00  
22222,Chang,Bond,Lasek,500.00  
22223,Dent,Bond,Dental,100.00  
22224,Nixon,Bond,Lasek,500.00  
22225,Washington,Bond,Dental,100.00  
33331,Jones,Lee,Dental,100.00  
33332,Ross,Lee,Lasek,500.00  
33333,Gates,Lee,Thyroid,1000.00  
33334,Johnson,Lee,Thyroid,1000.00  
33335,Carter,Lee,Dental,100.00

Why you can't use other component like `JTextArea` with `JScrollPane` instead of `JOptionpane`. — SatyaTNV, Sep 06 '15 at 13:52

Use String or StringBuilder or StringBuffer to do this. But instead of String use either StringBuilder or StringBuffer. Since for String, you need some extra objects for String manipulation.

Ex:

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("Id ").append(" Name\n");
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    sb.append(i).append("  Name"+i).append('\n');
}
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, sb.toString());

Use HTML tags to produce better formatted results like <font>, <table>, etc.

Ex:

String startTag ="<font size='2' color='red'>";
String endTag = "</font>";
sb.append(startTag+"Some content"+endTag);

So do I add this to my current string method or replace it with that? Edit: I'm a little rusty and new to oop in general. Trying to improve my skills before I graduate from college. – whitehawk23x Sep 06 '15 at 14:16
My suggestion, use `StringBuilder` instead of `String`. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2439243/what-is-the-difference-between-string-and-stringbuffer-in-java – SatyaTNV Sep 06 '15 at 14:19
private String menu() { put it here? – whitehawk23x Sep 06 '15 at 14:22
Yes, Im saying that replace it with `StingBuilder`. – SatyaTNV Sep 06 '15 at 14:23
Implementing now. I'll plus your answer once I get it working :) – whitehawk23x Sep 06 '15 at 14:37
I updated my post with my new question. My program compiles and runs, but I need help making the output be correct. – whitehawk23x Sep 06 '15 at 21:11
