im trying to make a program in java (NOT java script) that takes a text file, takes out any "bad chars" (!@#$%^&*,;:'" etc) and makes it so it only has X amound of chars a line, and line breaks after each
.
but for some reason it doesnt work:
infile:
Hello, my name is joel, how are you today, this is the coolest !@#$ thing
in the world. i think. you think. we all think. eddie is the master and he is cool, and he does really good crap and such
outfile:
Hellomy name is joelhow are you
todaythis is the coolest thing in
the world.
i think.
you think.
we
all think.
eddie is the master and
he is cooland he does really good
crap and such
notice it doesnt add spaces in the right place, anyone have an idea why?
