Help getting started

[Rabbit3cat]

Hi,
Im looking for a few pointers on how to get started on a program, i want to write some code that will take a number of files, and compare them, picking out words that appear frequently in all the files. Now im relatively new to java and still trying to get my head around it, so what im looking for is a few ideas how to get started on this. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks

Your first step would be to design your application, what classes and what methods you will need.

Start writing what you think the program should be and how you think it will work, most of the time programs can seem complex but once you get in there and have a go alot of it can simply be puzzled out bit by bit.

Just start out with a methodical approch and an overall design in your mind and if you have any specific problems, come back paste some code and people will be glad to help.

Good Luck :)

Waylander.
