    <p>I need to count the words in a String. For many of you that seems pretty simple but from what I've read in similar questions people are saying to use arrays but I'd rather not. It complicates my program more than it helps as my string is coming from an input file and the program cannot be hardwired to a specific file.</p> <p>I have this so far:</p> <pre><code>while(input.hasNext()) { String sentences = input.nextLine(); int countWords; char c = " "; for (countWords = 0; countWords &lt; sentences.length(); countWords++) { if (input.hasNext(c)) countWords++; } System.out.println(sentences); System.out.println(countWords); } </code></pre> <p>The problem is that what I have here ends up counting the amount of characters in the string. I thought it would count char c as a delimiter. I've also tried using String c instead with input.hasNext but the compiler tells me:</p> <pre><code>Program04.java:39: incompatible types found : java.lang.String[] required: java.lang.String String token = sentences.split(delim); </code></pre> <p>I've since deleted the .split method from the program. How do I delimit (is that the right word?) without using a String array with a scanned in file?</p>

    1. CO-.- I'm not saying the word is an array. I'm saying i dont want to use a string array.

    2. COFrankly, your reason for not using arrays sounds like: I can't go to the cinema, because I have a white car, and I can't hardwire my white car to going to the cinema. It doesn't make any sense. Using an array doesn't force you to hardwire anything.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
