Thread: A program that counts the number of punctuation marks in a text file

So I've attempted it, and in the end, i ended up getting the same values for most of my punctuations, the wrong value, so i want to know
where I could be going wrong:

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;


public class FileDriver
{

public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException
{
OperationsForFile fileActions = new OperationsForFile();
fileActions.readFileIntoList("frankenstein.txt");

int sentences = fileActions.countSentences();
System.out.println("Frankenstein consists of " + sentences + " sentences ");

int QuestionMarks = fileActions.countQuestionMarks();
System.out.println("Frankenstein consists of " + QuestionMarks
+ " Question Marks ");

int ExclaimationMarks = fileActions.countExclaimationMarks();
System.out.println("Frankenstein consists of " + ExclaimationMarks
+ " Exclaimation Marks ");

int Colon = fileActions.countColon();
System.out.println("Frankenstein consists of " + Colon + " Colons ");

int SemiColon = fileActions.countSemiColon();
System.out
.println("Frankenstein consists of " + SemiColon + " Semi-Colons");

int Dash = fileActions.countDash();
System.out.println("Frankenstein consists of " + Dash + " Dashes ");

int UnderScore = fileActions.countUnderScore();
System.out.println("Frankenstein consists of " + UnderScore
+ " Underscores ");

int Brackets = fileActions.countBrackets();
System.out.println("Frankenstein consists of " + Brackets + " Brackets ");

int Apostrophe = fileActions.countApostrophe();
System.out.println("Frankenstein consists of " + Apostrophe + " 's");

int Quotation = fileActions.countQuotation();
System.out
.println("Frankenstein consists of " + Quotation + " Quotations ");

int Slash = fileActions.countSlash();
System.out.println("Frankenstein consists of " + Slash + " Slashes ");

int Comma = fileActions.countComma();
System.out.println("Frankenstein consists of " + Comma + " Commas ");


}

}

And then the driver behind this class:

I've formatted to what my teacher likes so hopefully this time its easier to read

Thanks!
