Hey, I'm using the book "Beginning Programming with Java for Dummies", and I was attempting to write my own little crappy game with it, I'm shooting for a RPG. And I'm having problems with writing a file a file, and would appreciate any help.

I went through and commented just about everything.

And if you see anything I should change or add or just any tips I'd appreciate it.

Errors:

Might just be a typo.
I think you want the findInLine method of Scanner, not fineInLine.
