Hi i just wanted to knw the quickest way, of obtaining a count of the
number of words in a string?

Also how could I then output these words to a file, with only one word
on each line in file, in alphabetical order , the first letter of the
word capitalised and with no duplicates? Any help would be much
appreciated. Thanks

1) Split the string into an array of strings using the space character as
the separator

2) Iterate through the array and add each elements to a new ArrayList unless
the element is already there, using the Contains method

3) Sort the new ArrayList

4) Output this "distinct" array into a new file
