Adding Records To A File Then Searching That File For Records

The assignment is to create a program that accepts entries from a user for 3 variables then saves the data to a file. There are other programs that use the file created. One program displays the non-default records. The next program allows the user to enter the id for the employee and displays the first and last name for that id number. The last program allows the user to enter a first name. It then displays all id numbers and last names for records with that first name.

Given the above situation, I am stuck on creating the first program. I can make the text file and write the information to it. However, when the file is created, a space is placed in between each entry for some reason. I cannot figure out how to get rid of this space so that I can display the appropriate records for the remaining programs. Below is the code and a view of my problem.

import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import java.nio.channels.FileChannel;
import java.nio.file.*;
import java.io.*;
import static java.nio.file.StandardOpenOption.*;
import java.util.*;
public class WriteEmployeeList {

[Code] .....

The values for nameFormat and lnameFormat are 10 spaces. This is how the book told me to make sure everything is uniform and searchable. The file contents look like this when viewed in notepad.
