How to count the number of occurrences of words in a text
<p>I am working on a project to write a program that finds the 10 most used words in a text, but I got stuck and don't know what I should do next. Can someone help me please?</p>

<p>I came this far only:</p>

<pre><code>import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class Lab4 {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException {
        Scanner file = new Scanner(new File("text.txt")).useDelimiter("[^a-zA-Z]+");
        List&lt;String&gt; words = new ArrayList&lt;String&gt;();
        while (file.hasNext()){
            String tx = file.next();
            // String x = file.next().toLowerCase();
            words.add(tx);
        }
        Collections.sort(words);
        // System.out.println(words);
    }
}
</code></pre>
