If I create a filename named users.txt that stores a list of usernames people would like to chose for an account, and I want to make sure their username is not already taken, how would I go about that?
Thanks for the help

This question is extremely broad and open to many fine grained details...but if your looking for a good way to check for duplicate elements, use a Set. See The Set Interface (The Java™ Tutorials > Collections > Interfaces)
