Ask the user for a word to find in the text. Then display all the text in lower case, except for the target word, which should be in upper case. Also display how many times the target word was found.

Hey Andys,
I'd recommend you have a look a Regex and Java Pattern & Matcher classes. They will allow you to implement a good search method using a simple regex string.
You can then use this to count matches and reformat your text.

This should help you start..
import java.io.File; import java.util.Scanner; public class WordFinder { /** * JavaProgrammingForums.com */ public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Enter word to find: "); Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); String word = sc.next(); readFile(word); } public static void readFile(String word) { // Location of file to read File file = new File("data.txt"); // File reading code } }
