        public static void linePrinter(java.lang.String actress,
                               java.lang.String[] scriptLines)
        Prints lines from a script for a given actress (or actor).

        Given a script formatted like "Rent-Excerpt.txt" and "Rent.txt", print all lines for a given actress in the following format. For example, if the search term is "Roger" or "roger": 

         roger
 ---
 This won't tune.
 ---
 Are you talking to me?
 ---
 I'm writing one great song --
 ---

        Etc. Here are the guidelines:

        1. You should print the name of the actress in all lowercase first on a single line. But only once.
        2. A character begins speaking when their name appears alone on a line capitalized
        3. A character stops speaking when you reach an empty line
        4. Groups of lines are separated by "---". Put another way, once another character begins speaking, print the "---" divider. Your output should also end with a "---".
        5. If you are asked to search for lines for an actress that does not exist, you should print nothing: not their name, not any "---" separators.

        Complete the Javadoc comment and write this function.

        Parameters:
        actress - the actress to print lines for
