Often you need to read a file line by line. Alternatively sometimes you want to read text word by word (for example to count the occurrence of different words). The Scanner classes next() method can be used for this as shown in the following example.

		Scanner input = new Scanner(file);
		while(input.hasNext()) {
			String word = input.next();
		}
