I see two problems that catch my eye immediately:
1. Your code is not in [code] tags.
2. Your main method is misspelled:

public static void manin(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException {

Have not yet looked further; correct #2 and test your code to see if there's still an issue.

zack, thnx alot. i actually feel embarrassed for such a dumb mistake. im so used to copying and pasting from a template, and the first time i actually wrote the main method statement, i mispelled.

thnx again

You must have gotten some error when you tried to execute the program without a valid main() method.
Did you get an error?

Normally errors mean something is wrong. You shouldn't ignore errors they often tell you how to fix the problem.
