Could someone give me some pointers on how to start this porgram? Thanks in advance!

Write a program that retrieves the "Lab17a.dat" text file. This is the same text file that you used for the Lab17a assignment with the same student record format. For this assignment you will not only retrieve a text file, but also create a new text file. This means that in addition to using the FileReader class and the BufferedReader class, you will also need to use the FileWriter class and the BufferedWriter class of the java.io.* package.

Retrieve the "Lab17a.dat" file and check the gpa of each student record. A new file, called "Lab17b.dat", is created with all student records purged that have gpas below 2.0. As you execute the program you need to display the record of each student that will be purged, along with a count of the total records purged.
