Creating a Java Program to Search a File for a Specific Word

Question

I am just learning that language and was wondering what a more experience Java programmer would do in the following situation?

I would like to create a java program

Answer 1

Unless the file is very large, I would

String text = IOUtils.toString(new FileReader(filename));
boolean foundWord = text.matches("\\b" + word+ "\\b");

To find all the text between your word you can use split() and use the length of the strings to determine the position.
