The textfile babynames.txt, which is included in the books website, contains a list of the 1000 most popular baby names of boys and girls. Write a program that allows the user to input a name and the program should then read the file and search the matching names among the boys and the girls. If the name is found it should output the name and the names rank. It should also indicate if their is no match.

I have no idea how to start this. Can someone help me out pleae?
