count characters, words and lines in file

Question

This should count number of lines, words and characters into file.

But it doesn\'t work. From output it shows only 0.

Code:

Answer 1

You could store every line in a List and then linesCount = list.size().

Calculating charsCount:

for(final String line : lines)
    charsCount += line.length();

Calculating wordsCount:

for(final String line : lines)
    wordsCount += line.split(" +").length;

It would probably be a wise idea to combine these calculations together as opposed to doing them seperately.
