Reading from file in java?

Now suppose i have a file called >cool.txt< and it contains:
" ADDSTUDENT 12345 JOHN WILLIAMS "

MY CODE GOES LIKE THIS:

File inf = new File ("C:\\Users\\LENOVO\\Desktop\\cool.txt");
File outf = new File ("C:\\Users\\LENOVO\\Desktop\\JACK.txt");

Scanner in = new Scanner(inf);
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(outf);

;

String s = "";

String firstName ;
String lastName ;
int ID;

while(in.hasNext(. {
s = in.next();
if(s.equals("ADDSTUDENT". {

/*her i want to read the id number, first name and last name and save them to ID, firstName and lastName
respectively*/

You could use buffered reader to read the whole line as string then split the string using space as delimiter. That should give you array of strings, str[0] will be ADDSTUDENT, str[1] will be id etc.

Same in scanner can be achieved in scanner using useDelimiter(String pattern) method

set in.useDelimiter(patternYouNeed)

pattern you need will be newline (\n) or return carriage () pick which suits your needs.
