    Can you explain what your problem is?

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]

    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    problem is i want to improve this code to process all words in *.txt file.Fornow this code is working correctly when *.txt contains only one word. Forexample:quality. If i put in text file mutiple words: quality woman milk etc. Its not working. I know i need to use split and arrays put i failed .It sould process independently all atleast 4 chars lenghts phrases per word.
    Example:quality: all combinations are: uali, quali, ality, qualit, uality, lity, ualit, quality, qual, alit

    Is the problem getting the words one at a time from the input?

    What problem did you have using the split() method?

    Can you explain the steps the code needs to take to get the desired output?
    Something like this:
    begin loop
    get next word
    print all substrings of word
    end loop
