Possible Duplicate: JAVA: check a string if there is a special character in it I am a novice programmer and am looking for help determining if a character is a special character. My program asks the user to input the name of a file, and the program reads the text in the file and determines how many blanks spaces, digits, letters, and special characters are in the text. I have the code completed to determine the blanks, digits, and letters, however am unsure of how to check if a character is a special character. Any help you can offer is appreciated and if something was not clear enough I can try to elaborate. My code so far is: import java.util.Scanner; import java.io.*; public class TextFile{ public static void main(String[] args){ Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in); String fileName; boolean goodName = false; int blankCount = 0; int letterCount = 0; int digitCount = 0; int specialcharCount = 0; String currentLine; char c; Scanner lineFile= null; FileReader infile; System.out.println("Please enter the name of the file: "); fileName = input.nextLine(); while (!goodName) { try{ infile = new FileReader(fileName); lineFile = new Scanner(infile); goodName= true; } catch(IOException e) { System.out.println("Invalid file name, please enter correct file name: "); fileName=input.nextLine(); } } while (lineFile.hasNextLine()){ currentLine = lineFile.nextLine(); for(int j=0; j<currentLine.length();j++){ c=currentLine.charAt(j); if(c== ' ') blankCount++; if(Character.isDigit(c)) digitCount++; if(Character.isLetter(c)) letterCount++; if() specialcharCount++; } } } } I need something to put in the if statement at the end to increme
