sensitive.Please tell me if u need that too??
 import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class RnD {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("SAXELBY");
        BufferedReader reader = null;
        try {
            int lineNumber=0;
            reader =
                new BufferedReader(
                    new FileReader("C:\\00000001.txt"));
            while (true) {
                lineNumber++;
                String curline = reader.readLine();
                if (curline == null) {
                    break;
                }
                Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(curline);
                while (matcher.find()) {
                    System.out.println("at "+lineNumber+" "+
                        matcher.group()
                            + " start="
                            + matcher.start()
                            + " end= "
                            + matcher.end());
                }
            }

        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            if (reader != null) {
                try {
                    reader.close();
                } catch (IOException e1) {
                            e1.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
