Cup O' Java

// program reads lines from text file adds an inflation rate to it and then drops it into categories. the categories arent important or the format for now. all i want is the thing to read from a txt file and output another text file with the info that it read. once it reads the zero it breaks out.

=================
299.99
Television
159.95
Microwave Oven
512.22
Refrigerator
0
==================

import java.io.*;

class S1
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{
final float INFLATION = .025f
FileReader file1 = new FileReader("G:\\java programs\\S1Data.txt");
BufferedReader inputfile = new BufferedReader(file1);
FileWriter file2 = new FileWriter("G:\\java programs\\S1Output.txt");
PrintWriter outputFile = new PrintWriter(file2);
String name;
float price;
price = new Float(inputFile.readLine()).floatValue();

while(price != 0)
{
price += price * INFLATION;
name = inputFile.readLine();
outputFile.println(price + " " + name);
price = new Float(inputFile.readLine()).floatValue();
}

inputFile.close();
outputFile.close();
}
}

problem is in line 8 FileReader file1 = new FileReader("G:\\java programs\\S1Data.txt");
