Simplest way I can think of is to use String.split("\\s")
, which will split based on spaces.
Then have a HashMap
containing a word as the key with the value being the number of times it is used.
HashMap<String, Integer> mapOfWords = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
while (file.hasNextLine()) {
String s = file.nextLine();
String[] words = s.split("\\s");
int count;
for (String word : words) {
if (mapOfWords.get(word) == null) {
mapOfWords.put(word, 1);
}
else {
count = mapOfWord.get(word);
mapOfWords.put(word, count + 1);
}
}
}
Implementation you requested to skip strings that contain certain words
HashMap<String, Integer> mapOfWords = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
while (file.hasNextLine()) {
String s = file.nextLine();
String[] words = s.split("\\s");
int count;
if (isStringWanted(s) == false) {
continue;
}
for (String word : words) {
if (mapOfWords.get(word) == null) {
mapOfWords.put(word, 1);
}
else {
count = mapOfWord.get(word);
mapOfWords.put(word, count + 1);
}
}
}
private boolean isStringWanted(String s) {
String[] checkStrings = new String[] {"chelsea", "Liverpool", "#LFC"};
for (String check : checkString) {
if (s.contains(check)) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
