find a word in a string.

[xetulul]

my problem is that im unable to match a user input word to a word in a string. the strings are in a file and then placed in nodes. i have to go through each token in each node to find the 'word'.
but my code doesn't work. how can i make my code to understand that word: "night" == token in node: "night." .


[CODE=java]import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Strin gTokenizer;


class edit
{
class Node
{
Node next;
String text;
}
private Node head;
boolean openB=false;
Node m=new Node();
int i;

Scanner myScanner=new Scanner(System. in);

System.out.prin tl
public void menu() throws Exception
{
System.out.prin tln("Enter option --> ");
String cmd=myScanner.n ext();

if(cmd.equals(" open"))
{
linecount=0;
System.out.prin t("Enter file name : ");
fname=myScanner .next();
openB=open(fnam e);
}
else if(cmd.equals(" find"))
{
System.out.prin t("Text to find? ");
String textFind=myScan ner.next();
System.out.prin tln("ontop of method call: "+textFind) ;
find(textFind);
}
else
break;
}
public void find(String s)
{
m=head;
i=1;
String temp, line;

System.out.prin t("Found on line(s): ");
while(m!=null)
{
if(i==1)
line=head.text;
else
line=m.text;

StringTokenizer tokenizer=new StringTokenizer (line);
while(tokenizer .hasMoreTokens( ))
{
temp=tokenizer. nextToken();
if( temp.equals(s))
{ System.out.prin t(" "+i); }
}
m=m.next;
i++;
}
}

}[/CODE]

Your code doesn't even compile; you have to fix that first.

kind regards,
