Whatever an 'ARPA file' may be, you read it the same way you read any other file. FileInputStream or FileReader. If you want to read native datatypes from the file, DataInputStream around a FileInputStream. If it contains lines of text, try BufferedReader.readLine. If you have to parse the text, take a look at java.util.Scanner.

Well, we're new to ARPA files. Please describe them step by step to us so it's easy to understand what they are.

ARPA as in "Advanced Research Projects Agency"? (http://www.darpa.mil) Maye they have some publicly available DAO's. Can't hurt to ask?

1. Learn the basics of programming as well as how to logically construct and deconstruct a problem domain.
2. Learn the basics of programming java.
3. Learn about java.io.*
4. Learn about java swing
5. Find documentation that describes the format of the ARPA file.
6. Read the documentation and understand it.
7. Find a source for ARPA files (if this is online then there is more java to learn as well.)
8. Use 1,2 and 3 to write java code that consumes the ARPA file.
9. Use 4 to ask the user for a word.
10. Use 1 and 2 to write code that 'searches' what you read in 8.
