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.
