An Address Database - minor problems with the menu and display

Accept a series of names and addresses from the console.
The user's input should be written to a text file in the CSV format described in the lecture. But, do not include the field names in the first row of the file.
Read the records from the text file and display them in a user friendly format.
Provide a menu to allow the user to either append records to the file, display the records or exit the application.

It seems when I run the program first off the menu doesn't work hehe I am more worried about the output atm. It allows you to enter the data, but when it goes to display the output it errors out after the address. Any ideas?

The program input should appear similar to this:


Append Records

Name..........John Smith
Street.........902 Union Ave
City............Any Town
State...........TX
Zip Code......78552

"Enter another Record? (Y/N) "

The file structure look like this:

John Smith, 902 Union Ave, Any Town, TX, 79552
Eric Jones, 345 State Way, Fresno, CA, 93432
...

The file output should appear similar to:

Show Records
__________________________________________
Record #1
Name...........John Smith
Street..........902 Union Ave
City.............Any Town

__________________________________________
