Dies sollte die Anzahl der Zeilen, Wörter und Zeichen in der Datei zählen.

Aber es geht nicht. Von der Ausgabe zeigt es nur0.

Code:

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    int ch;
    boolean prev = true;        
    //counters
    int charsCount = 0;
    int wordsCount = 0;
    int linesCount = 0;

    Scanner in = null;
    File selectedFile = null;
    JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
    // choose file 
    if (chooser.showOpenDialog(null) == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
        selectedFile = chooser.getSelectedFile();
        in = new Scanner(selectedFile);         
    }

    // count the characters of the file till the end
    while(in.hasNext()) {
        ch = in.next().charAt(0);
        if (ch != ' ') ++charsCount;
        if (!prev && ch == ' ') ++wordsCount;
        // don't count if previous char is space
        if (ch == ' ') 
            prev = true;
        else 
            prev = false;

        if (ch == '\n') ++linesCount;
    }

    //display the count of characters, words, and lines
    charsCount -= linesCount * 2;
    wordsCount += linesCount;
    System.out.println("# of chars: " + charsCount);
    System.out.println("# of words: " + wordsCount);
    System.out.println("# of lines: " + linesCount);

    in.close();
}

Ich kann nicht verstehen, was los ist. Irgendwelche Vorschläge?
