homework question file search

[anon anony]

Hello everyone, its my first time here. Nice to meet everyone. This is the question;
Write a program Find that searches all files specified on the command line and prints out all lines containing a reserved word. Start a new thread for each file. So by just reading each file individually and using each one in a different thread so they could all be read at once basically?

So I am unsure how to begin with this code, do I basically search through a file?
Thanks everyone.

Yes. You read each file (in a separate thread, as indicated by your assignment) line per line.
Every time you find the reserved word in a line, you print that line.
Keep on reading untill you reach the end of the file.


You could also implement a FilterReader.
As in this example.

I think I could use the FilterReader, never tried it before I just have to make sure I am using multithreading. I think I understand what to do now though, thanks.
