Thread: Help with finding initials in my Java program...

I need help on a code where i get my input from a text document(i cant remember what the input is called) and from there i must get the first initials of each word.For example "John The Kid" output should be JTK. I think my main problem im having is the for loop and or maybe the code for actually getting the initials of each word.
I can only use charAt indexOf and substring for the code.As much explanation would help i really would like to understand what i need to help and why i am doing it.Thanks
This is my object file.

import static java.lang.System.*;
 
public class Acronym
{ //begin Acronym
 
 
       //variables
  public String name = "";
  public String newword = "";
  public String original = "";
  char ch = '?';
 
  public void setData(String names,String new_word,String original_)
  { //begin setData
    name = names;
    newword = new_word;
    original = original_;
  } //end setData
 
  public boolean fowardAcronym()
  { //begin fowardAcronym
    boolean yes = false;
    String acro = "";
    int space = 0;
    ch = name.charAt(0);
    acro += ch;
    space = name.indexOf(" ");
   	ch = name.charAt(space + 1);
   	newword +=  ch;
   if(!yes)
   {
   	yes = true;
   }
   return yes;
  } //end fowardAcronym
 
 public boolean reverseAcronym()
 { //begin reverseacronym
   boolean yes = false;
   String acroed = "";
   int space = 0;
   ch = name.charAt(0);
   acroed += ch;
   space = name.indexOf(" ");
   ch = name.charAt(space + 1);
   original += ch;
 
   if(!yes)
   { //begin if
   	yes = true;
   } //end if
 
   return yes;
 } //end reverseacronym
 
 
 
  public void printAcronym()
  { //begin printAcronym
 
    if(fowardAcronym()&& reverseAcronym())
    { //begin if
     out.printf("Given the word %S\n",name);
     out.printf("The forword acrony is %S\n",newword);
     out.printf("The reverse acrony is %S \n",original);
    }
 
 
     //end if
 
  } //end printAcronym
 
} //end Acronym

Runner(main class file)

public class AcronymRunner
{ //begin AcronymRunner
 
 
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
   { //begin main
     Scanner infile = new Scanner (new File("c:\\csa\\Acronym.txt"));
     Acronym ac = new Acronym();
 
       //variables
     String names = "";
     String new_word = "";
     String original_ = "";
     int named = 0;
 
     named = infile.nextInt();
 
 
     for(int i = 0; i < named; i++)
      { //begin for
 
        names=infile.next();
        ac.setData(names,new_word,original_);
        ac.printAcronym();
 
      } //end for
 
 
    } //end main
} //end AcronymRunner

new_word is for the initials like "rain every few" new_word would equal "rew" and original_ is supose to get me the end initals but backwords so original should return "wyn". I didnt mention this other part of the program but i figured i could figure that out once ive figured the rest of the program out.
