Thread: Using the same scanner multiple times in code help

 
import java.io.File;

Alright, so what I'm trying to do is import a .txt file, use it as a scanner, and then have it search for the number of times the input word is used inside of the .txt file. That part works. I also want it to count the total number of words in the file. That part doesn't work and I can't seem to figure out why, especially as that should be the easier part of this. I'm very new to java, please help me!

EDIT: It returns "x", so it is reaching that part of the code, but it's like it is already at the end of the text file so there isn't a chance for it to go through the while method. Is there a way I can reset the scanner to start from the beginning of the file again? Or am I completely off about that?
