Re^2: find the number of words that a user has chosen for an input file that a user has also chosen

I'm sorry, I am actually trying to learn though so I don't want to be hand fed. And I did forget to copy a portion, my apologies.

EXAMPLE SCENARIO WITH MY CODE:

User runs program, gets random intro message

User is prompted for a file

User types in 'usdeclaration.txt'

User is prompted for a word

User types in 'the'

User sees message as 'Frequency: x'

DIFFERENT SCENARIO: (includes more than I'm asking)

User runs program, gets random intro message

User is prompted for a file

User types in 'gdfsagrwa.txt'

(Let's say this file doesn't exist)

Print error message saying file doesn't exist or whatever.

I'm more concerned with the second scenario just because I have kind of figured out most of it since posting this.

I didn't make my "hand fed" comment clear. I'm lazy. When testing your code I want to copy and paste your code into my IDE and run it without having to type any input - I don't want to "hand feed" your running code test input (I'll probably type it wrong cos I can't type either). So think about how you can test the code you are having trouble with without needing any extra input or files, then post that test code.
