Treemap and Hashmap

[Peter Burke]

How would you go about removing all punctuation besides ones like this "my-o-my" and then count up all occurances of the every word and print it out.
Doin all this while reading in a file that has text it in from a speech.
Thanks!

You should look at classes like String, StringBuffer, StringTokenizer, InputStream, and FileReader. These should provide many of the methods you need to accomplish this task.

Let us know what you come up with. There will be plenty of people here that will help answer specific questions when you run into any problems. Please be sure to illustrate what you have tried so we can help you from there.

Keep Coding!

yeah yeah yeah, I know how to bring in the file and print it out, my problem is that I don't know how to edit the file once I have it stored away!

Hence Layne's recommendation to look at String, StringBuffer, and StringTokenizer.
