Help with "switch" (I think)

[Sudz28]

Greetings! I am attempting to write a program that will allow a user to manipulate data read from a file, and am obviously in no way near finished. However, one problem I'm having that I don't understand is with my switch subroutine. In the below code, if I select "d" or anything that is an invalid response, it loops correctly back to the menu. However, if I attempt to insert (i), find (f), or delete (d) it loops back to the menu *but* immeidately crashes with the error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Strin gIndexOutOfBoun dsException: String index out of range: 0
at java.lang.Strin g.charAt(Unknow n Source)
at Project4.main(P roject4.java:62 )

Can anyone tell me why I'm getting this error? It seems to be immediately assuming some sort of input on the part of the user before anything is typed, and I don't understand why.
Thanks!
