Explanation / Answer

Answer:

import java.util.Scanner;

import java.io.*;

public class SpecificWordCounter
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter the name of the text file:");
String name = keyboard.nextLine();
File file = new File(name);

System.out.println("Enter the word you are searching for in the text file:");
String word = keyboard.nextLine();

try
{
System.out.println("The word ""+word+"" appeared "+ searchCount(file,word) + "

times in the file "+ file);
}
catch (IOException e)
{
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}

}

public static int searchCount(File fileA, String fileWord) throws FileNotFoundException
{
int count = 0;
fileWord = fileWord.trim();
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(fileA);

while (scanner.hasNext())
{
String nextWord = scanner.next().trim();
if (nextWord.equals(fileWord)) {
++count;

}
  
return count;
