character count from file?

[marks20101]

The file is attached "ParsingTextFileCount.java file.dat "
It takes an argument via command line. It reads from the file, the words, number of lines, but I can not get the character count to increment to give me the total characters in the file?

Program produces word count and line count fine, but need character count.

if ((charcount = frs.read()) != -1){
charcount++;
}
Thanks......

Aren't you overwriting your character count each time you do a frs.read()?

Shouldn't you be doing something like

      if ((rv = frs.read()) != -1)
      {
	  charcount = charcount + rv;
      }

Just a guess....

Yes, that is correct must have typed it in wrong...the code worked using a while loop, but now I do not get the line or word count? I have attached a txt file of the updated version. Any way to set this up so I can get word,line and char count?

Now getting charcount but not others?
while ((rv = frs.read()) != -1){
charcount++;



Thanks
