I am trying to create a program which reads from a txt file and then allows the user to do the following whith a menu:

Read File (read the given file)
Enter new Criminal record
3.Search for Specific Crime (Search for all criminal who have committed a specific crime. Only 3 different crimes.)
Print Data Base (As in all data in the file)
Write File
Exit Program
I want to create a method for each different function of the program.
I am not sure how to build something like this if anybody has ideas or just somwhere to start that would be great.

I'm going to answer you here since the question about the file seems to be related.
You can read a file in a lot of ways. For example FileReader or Files.readLines or Files.readString. Here is a nice article that sums it up: https://www.baeldung.com/reading-file-in-java
