Error Trying to fin iterations of a String from a File in my Desktop in Java

October 19, 2022

I am trying to find how often a specific String repeats itself in an external directory. This is the code I currently have:

package Files;

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class StringSearcher {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException {
        Scanner searcher = new Scanner(System.in);
        Boolean foundString = false;

        System.out.println("Enter the word you would desire to search");
        String word = searcher.next();
        int count = 0;
        System.out.println("Contents of the line");
        // Reading the contents of the file
        Scanner sc2 = new Scanner(new FileInputStream("/Users/ricardobarahona/Desktop"));
        while (sc2.hasNextLine()) {
            String line = sc2.nextLine();
            System.out.println(line);
            if (line.indexOf(word) != -1) {
                foundString = true;
                count = count + 1;
            }
        }
        if (foundString) {
            System.out.println("File contains the specified word");
            System.out.println("Number of occurrences is: " + count);
        } else {
            System.out.println("File does not contain the specified word");
        }
    }

}

My directory works but this is the error I keep receiving:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException:
