The above is part of log file.
Im new in Java, so using indexOf(), how can i just take the RSSI value and display it ?

Why don't you take a look at all the methods of the java.lang.String class? Surely, there are other methods along with indexOf() that could be useful?

Acually how can i read the data line by line and categorize them with ID and its own RSSI value, after that i need to calculate the average value for specific ID ?

To read the file into your program, you can start with the IO tutorial....

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/

Once you have the data read, you can either parse it with methods from the java.lang.String class, mention earlier. Or if you are more adventurous, you can take a look at the regular expressions tutorial...

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/regex/

And once you parsed the values, you can take a look at the java.lang.Integer class to convert it to values that you can use to calculate the averages.

Actually i want to the following step :
1.scan line -> find ID -> new ID -> get ID -> scan its own RSSI value -> get RSSI value
2.scan line -> find next ID -> match previous ID
-> if same with previous ID -> get the RSSI value
-> if not same -> create a place to store new ID and its RSSI value
