reading files and arraylists

Code:

---

ArrayList<text> words = new ArrayList<text>();
        while(in.hasMoreTokens()){
                words.add( new text(in.readToken().toLowerCase()));
          }

---

i'm reading tokens from a .txt and adding them to this arraylist

however, when i go and print, each instance is the same.

any ideas?


edit: it's a problem with assigning strings to each other.
in the text class constructor i assign the word to another string, and i guess it only assigns the reference.
how do i fix it?

Code:

---

        public text(String w){
               
                word = w.toString();
       
                occurance =1;
        }

You don't show your Text class, but it should look something like this.

Code:

---

public class Text {
  private final String _Word;

  public Text(final String pWord) {
    _Word = pWord;
  }

  public String getWord() {
    return _Word;
  }

---

The constructor needs to store the String passed in an instance variable, and a getter method provides access to the String.

nevermind, i figured it out
