file handling with arraylist

[SHONGO1976]

hiya folks, im trying to do a program whereby i read in file records and provide valid and invalid data reports....i have done it with an arraylist and the use of the errorprovider tooltip.. but how do i show invalid entries to a report if invalid entry is added by the user?..

would it be better to use a txt file maybe?..heres the code ive created so far..thank you..
