string.split help

[name]

Hi

I am writing a program that will read a file, and then count the number of words, vowels, and the average number of words per line. So far, whenever I run the program, it reads the first line, then freezes. I read on another thread that this is caused by the tokenizer, and that it should be replaced by the string split statement. The only issue is that I don't know how to write a string split statement, or how to use it. Could someone help?

Thanks,

		//Greet user
		System.out.println(" ");
		System.out.println("Welcome to File Reader!");
		System.out.println(" ");
		
		//Ask for file
		System.out.println("Please Insert File Location");
		String file = in.readLine();
		System.out.println(" ");
		
		System.out.println("*[Reading...]*");
		System.out.println(" ");
		
		String line;
		in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
		line = in.readLine();
		
		//find length
		int length = 10;
		int i = 0;
		int j;
		
		//Word and vowels count
		int countw=0;
		int countv=0;
		
		//Read file
		while (line != null)
		{
			System.out.println(line);
			
			//find words
			StringTokenizer stk=new StringTokenizer(line," ");
			while(stk.hasMoreTokens())
			{
				String token=stk.nextToken();
				countw++;
			}
			
			//find vowels
			for (j = 0; j < line.length(); i++) 
			{
				char c = line.charAt(j);
				if (c=='a' || c=='e' || c=='i' || c=='o' || c=='u') 
				{
					countv++;
				}
			}
			line = in.readLine();
		}
	System.out.println(" ");
	System.out.println("*[End of File]*");
	System.out.println(" ");
	System.out.println("There are " + countw + " words in the text");
	System.out.println("There are " + countv + " vowels in the text");
	
	}
}

Try debugging the code by adding println statements to show what was read and what tokens were returned.
The print out should show you what the code is doing.

What do you mean by "freezes"? Is the program looping or ?

[JeffThomas]

I just tested your code, and took norms suggestion of testing println statements in certain areas (very useful in many situations).

I'll tell you that your code freezes after line 59. Something wrong in the for-loop maybe?

If you comment out the for loop, you will realize that the entire program works from then on. Just re-do the vowel detection.

Something wrong in the for-loop maybe?

Like, not incrementing the counter variable?

I solved it by making a new program. thanks for your help.
