Finding words in a txt file!

Question

Hi guys,
I have to write a program that opens a .txt file and looks for a specific word in the file and then prints out the entire line that word appears in. I have to use a String Tokenizer? I don't know how to write the program. All I have so far is a program that prints the entire txt document (or each line). I think String Tokenizer is involved in here somewhere but I don't know how to use it.
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
import java.io.*;
public class Find
     public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException
          String line;
          String name;
          String file="find.txt";
          StringTokenizer tokenizer;
          FileReader x = new FileReader (file);
          BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader (x);
          line = inFile.readLine();
          while (line != null)
               tokenizer = new StringTokenizer (line);
word = tokenizer.nextToken("word");
               System.out.println (line + "\n");
               line = inFile.readLine();
          inFile.close();
The text file Find.txt just has a few lines of text in it.
I want to make it so that I can look for a specific word in the text file and the resulting printout will be the entire line that the word appears in.
Any help would be great! Thanks!

Your first post is very close to what you want:
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
import java.io.*;
public class Find
     public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException
     String line;
     String name;
     String file="find.txt";
     StringTokenizer tokenizer;
     FileReader x = new FileReader (file);
     BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader (x);
     line = inFile.readLine();
     while (line != null)
          tokenizer = new StringTokenizer (line);
          String word = tokenizer.nextToken();
          if (word.equals("word")) // we are searchig for the String word
               System.out.println ("found it! "+line + "\n");
          line = inFile.readLine();
     inFile.close();
