Hi friend
I hope the following code helps you
one thing i tel u honestly that i didnt understand whats the purpose of boolean array n how r u going to use that...

anywhy i written the follwing code n i dont know how much its going to help you


import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;


class SearchExample
{

String str=new String();
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
int j=0;

void found()
{
try{
str=br.readLine();
} catch(IOException e){}
int j=str.length();
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("The word " +str + " has " +j +" characters");
System.out.println("");
}

int count(char ch)
{
int count=0;
for(int i=0;i<str.length();i++)
{
if(ch==str.charAt(i))
count++;

}


return count;
}

void display_ch(char b[])
{

System.out.println("you found these letters");
System.out.println("");
System.out.print(b);

}

public static void main(String args[])throws IOException
{

char i='\0';
char[] buf=new char[10];
int j=0;
int count;
SearchExample ex=new SearchExample();
System.out.println("Enter the data..");
ex.found();
do{
System.out.println("What letter would you like to guess?(Enter zero to quit.) ");
System.out.println("");

i = (char) System.in.read();
count=ex.count(i);
System.out.println("character "+i+" found "+count+" times");
System.out.println("");
if(count>0)
buf[j++]= i;

}while(i != '0');
ex.display_ch(buf);
}
}

Thanks...
