^^ file i'm reading from. how go reading in 1 word @ time,assigning 1 word variable, doing stuff it, reading in name file? i'm getting stuck on how assign word read in variable. time.

while(names.hasnext())         {             //stuff          } 

i think looking reading line line file.

you can try this: common way read files.

bufferedreader br = new bufferedreader(new filereader(file)); string line; string word; while ((line = br.readline()) != null) {     word = line;     //do stuff word } br.close();
