Perhaps you should read your streamTokzenizer and retrieve each word
and either stuff them in a Vector or read the file twice and do it the first
time just to get the word count. Use this word count to initialise your
array (to that size) then read the file again putting each word into the
Array.

A better one pass approach would be to read each word into a Vector
(You don't need to initialise a Vector with a size) then at the end get
the vector size, make the array then use the Vector.copyInto(Object[])
method to read your Vector into your array.

There are more sophisticated approaches but for a beginner this is an easy
conceptual approach.

hey i know the assignment your doing... by any chance is it for a subject
perhaps that might be called 410? hahaha..member you are supposed to
implement it in a command line interface instead of a gui as the primary
interface.

Just like to thank the people that have so graciously helped me with my
problem, I have submitted it although its not working just how I would have
liked, a lot of hard work with little reward, I guess that is programming
though and it is all a learning curve.. Thanks again
