I saw it...

I saw your third line of text. You are reading the first two lines of text in mary and word string variables as shown in bold. Again in first while loop you are using readLine to read a line of text in mary string variable which will read the third line of text in mary. So when you are displaying the text in first while loop you cannot read the second line again. Remedy is just remove the line word = inFile.readLine ( ) and try to rewrite code so that your code after first while loop remains valid.

mary = inFile.readLine();
word = inFile.readLine();


while (mary != null){
StringTokenizer t=new StringTokenizer (mary);
while (t.hasMoreTokens()){
mary=t.nextToken();
count++;
System.out.print(mary+" ");
}//end while

System.out.println();
mary = inFile.readLine();

}//end while
