This code is suppose to ask the user for two input txt files and an output txt file.
Merge the two input txt files into one.
Sort alphabetically.
Format:
Last, First
ID
Last, First
ID
...ect
Its suppost to print that into an output text file that will have all the names and id's in alphabetical order.

Atm. It is only printing out the First correct name and its id and not doing the rest. Help please thanks!

Can you post the current output and add comments explaining what is wrong with the output and also show what the output should look like.

Can you explain the logic of your code. It does not make sense to me. Make a list in pseudo code of what you want the statements in the code to do.

Your parameter names to the methods are poor. They should describe what the variables contain like inFileName and outFileName. Then when the code is read you know what the variable contains and what it should be used for.
When I see the name: one it has no meaning.
