Hello, I keep getting this error, but I have no idea why!

What I am attempting to do is read a file name from the user, then put it into one long string separated by a space (' '). Then as I go through I want to delete everything that is not a space or a letter.

StringTokenizer.java:20: cannot find symbol
symbol  : constructor StringTokenizer(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
location: class StringTokenizer
      StringTokenizer strTokenizer = new StringTokenizer(str, " ,.");
                                     ^
StringTokenizer.java:21: cannot find symbol
symbol  : method hasMoreTokens()
location: class StringTokenizer
      while ( strTokenizer.hasMoreTokens())
                          ^
StringTokenizer.java:23: cannot find symbol
symbol  : method nextToken()
location: class StringTokenizer
         String s = strTokenizer.nextToken();
                                ^
3 errors

This is my code

Well, you need to have a constructor for your StringTokenizer class which takes 2 string values as arguments like this.

public StringTokenizer( String str, String)
{
   //some code 
}

Difficult to know how to advise since what you say your intentions are don't seem to be backed up by the code. StringTokenizer is a legacy class. You should use String.split instead

My goal is to have everything written within the driver (main)

My code is working a lot better now.. I was able to fix the problem I was having..

The only problem now is that I keep getting unwanted junk as my output, but I have no idea where it's coming from.

Well, those are RTF tags...looks like you are not using a plain-text editor to save your file.

StringTokenizer is legacy code and is there just to support old application with already written code that use it.
New developed code should use the String class split() method
