hi thr


i can say is since u want to find
how many words are there in a file
just can use Pattern and Matcher class

like since u want to find alphabets only later no whitespaces

Pattern and Matcher classses or use regex .....................
see API for its methods
Matcher match=Pattern.compile("/w")
match.find()
match.group

may be this helps u too some extent.........

Check out the stringtokenizer class for a clue on how to split things apart.

Take the String into a StringBuffer then find your specified word and replace it with a different word then again repeat the same process.
The code will be something like this ....

StringBuffer str_buf = new StringBuffer(file_content);
String specified_word = "abc";
int start_pos;
int count=0;
while(str_buf.toString().indexOf(specified_word)!=-1)
{
str_buf.replace(start_pos,specified_word.length(),""); //just replace it with enpty character
count++;
}

If you want to consider e.g. "first name" as one single word have a look at the API
documentation for the String.split() method. There's no need for tokenizers
nor string buffers at all.

Welcome to TSDN, and welcome to Java.

You need to be clearer: "build a script" isn't meaningful. What are you trying to do? What is your goal?
