    Default How would I write this program?

    I have this programming assignment which calls for:
    1) The user to enter a file to use.
    2) Then the user enters a particular sub string to search for.
    3) The object of the program would be count the number of occurrences of the particular sub string in the file.
    I am a rookie programmer so I am really lost
    I managed to get steps 1 and 2 complete, but I need help with step 3.
    *** My teacher says that I can only use the charAt and length method of the String class.

    Break the problem down. Sit down with a pen and paper, and write down how you would do this step by step. Once you've done this, concentrate on the code for each step. See http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com...e-posting.html
