Java passing of methods

Question

HI My prof said this about my code
Please Help me I do not get what he wanted me to do with my code

// The following code (mark by "-")can be replace by getEntryDetails(AddressBookEntry entry)
            // you can just pass "addent" to the method 
            // always try to reuse as much methods/codes as possible

Please Help me I do not get what he wanted me to do with my code
This is an address book containing 3 classes and this is one of the class that i really had a problem with

import java.util.Scanner;
public class AddressBookApp {
    private static Scanner dataReader;
    private static AddressBook book;
        // TODO Address Book App

            case '2': deleteEntry(); break;
            case '3': viewAllEntries(); break;
            case '4': editEntry(); break;
            case '5': searchEntryByName(); break;

删除所有以“-”开头的行并改用它：

 getEntryDetails( addent );
