    The StringTokenizer class does NOT read data from files. You need to use a class that reads from a file.
    For student exercises, you could use the Scanner class.

    You can use the Scanner class to read the file.
    And the PrintWriter class to write to a file.

    Please explain in more detail what you want to do with a hashmap.
