New to Java

Hey all. I am having a bit of an issue. I need to write a program to read a file and count how many words are in the file. So far I have the basis for the while loop to read a line from the file, but I can't seem to figure out how to code the loop to count the words. Java doesn't have a word count method does it? I have looked, but have been unable to find anything of the sort.

I don't want you do do this for me, I just need some helpful hint/tips. Anything you can provide is appreciated. Thanks!
