Java help request

[cowgirl1976]

I need to write a Java application for school where I search an existing .txt file to match letters. Its a hangman theory where the user places the letter to search for into the coded box and then Java searches the file and returns the matching letters and places them in the same location on the screen in a separate text field. I have created a random access file with three quotes in it. Can anyone help me with how to match the letter entered to the positions in the quote?

I assume you're going through 1 character at a time using a loop? If so you just add a variable that gets incremented in the loop to keep track of how many characters you've searched through. That make sense?
