GUI Program-Java Reading Text Documents From File

I'm trying to write a program that prompts the user to choose a year and gender (both JComboBox) and then enter a name. The program should give the user the "ranking" or "popularity" of the name entered. I can't seem to get my program to read the documents in the folder.

The folder is named "Years" and contains 6 Word Documents (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011)

Do I need to clean up the text files? I'm using a Mac if that makes any difference.

Here's an example of what the documents look like when opened.

58 Owen 8,169 Kimberly 4,999

59 Lucas 8,125 Andrea 4,995

60 Charles 7,999 Megan 4,936

61 Juan 7,925 Katelyn 4,876

62 Luis 7,918 Faith 4,844

63 Adrian 7,373 Gabrielle 4,833

64 Julian 6,787 Trinity 4,828

65 Adam 6,775 Evelyn 4,745

66 Bryan 6,684 Kylie 4,711

67 Alex 6,662 Brooklyn 4,699

68 Sean 6,629 Audrey 4,645

69 Nathaniel 6,606 Leah 4,639
