Question

i am getting this error my code is this

public class JavaHW1_1 {
private static Scanner userInput = new Scanner(System.in);
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

    String pattern ;
    String fileName = null;



    //      Method to manage user inputs 
    fileName = userInputFileName(userInput);
    pattern = userInputPattern(userInput);

    //      To find the pattern in the file
    //      findPattern();

}
private static String userInputPattern(Scanner userInput) {
    String pattern = "JollyGood";
    System.out.println(". Please enter a pattern to find in the file");

    while(userInput.hasNextLine()){
        pattern = userInput.nextLine();
        System.out.println("The pattern to be searched: "+ pattern);
    }
    userInput.close();
    return pattern;
}
private static String userInputFileName(Scanner userInput) throws IOException {

I think you should receive the Scanner by parameter, try like this :-

public static void main(String[] args){

    Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
    String pattern = userInputPattern(scan);
    String test = readSomethingElse(scan);
}

private static String readSomethingElse(Scanner scan) {
   System.out.println(". Read something else");
    return scan.nextLine();
}

private static String userInputPattern(Scanner scan) {

    String pattern = "JollyGood";
    System.out.println(". Please enter a pattern to find in the file");
    pattern = scan.nextLine();
    System.out.println("The pattern to be searched: "+ pattern);
    return pattern;
}
