PROBLEM WITH FILE PROCESSING

Question

Hello
I've written a program to find a keyword in a file (or files). It compiles fine. When I run the program I get a FileNotFoundException. It is referencing the first argument in the command line, which is my keyword. I don't understand, since I set args [0] to String key.
I am typing java Find tod file1.txt
Please help. Below is my code.
import java.io.*;
public class Find
public static void main ( String [ ] args )
String key = args [ 0 ];
if ( args.length < 2 )
System.err.println ( "Usage: java Find keyword file1 ..." );
     System.exit ( -1 );
try
BufferedReader [ ] in = new BufferedReader [ args.length - 1 ];
for ( int count = 0; count < args.length - 1; count++ )
in [ count ] = new BufferedReader ( new FileReader ( args [ count ] ) );
String str;
for ( int x = 1; x < args.length; x++ )
while ( ( str = in [ x ].readLine ( ) ) != null )
if ( str.indexOf ( key ) > -1 )
System.out.println ( str );
catch ( IOException e )
System.err.println ( "Error: " + e );
}

System.err.println ( "Usage: java Find keyword file1 ..." );
     System.exit ( -1 );
try
BufferedReader [ ] in = new BufferedReader [ args.length - 1 ];
for ( int count = 0; count < args.length - 1; count++ )
in[count] = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(args[count]));You know that this is gonna look at all the args up to but not including the last one. Which, according to your usage, means it is going to try to open the keyword as a file.
Try changing your for loop to this:
for ( int count = 1; count < args.length ; count++ )Hope this helps,
