Can someone help you? Yes. What is the nature of the problem that you are having?
A lot of your methods appear to only be skeleton code.
You should probably begin with populating those. The method names do appear to hint at the desired function that the method is to provide.

You can probably use the class java.lang.String to do most of what is required.

theres lotts of methods in the string class that will help you populate these skeleton methods. check the java docs on sun micro systems website.
