I am trying to code a program that:
- Scan a file through a file path given by the user
- counts its words
- print its content to the terminal
- Add to it, in a new file, through another file path given by user
And it can also count the words of that new file, and print its content to the terminal.
but I have two problems with that new file: 1- it only saves my adittion without the old file's content (even though I used .concat() method) 2- it cannot count the words of that new file.
other than that it works, I tried alot to solve those problems, but I couldn't...

Scanner scanTwo = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Please Enter Your File Path");
String filePath = scanTwo.nextLine();
File fileInput = new File(filePath);
Scanner fileScanner = new Scanner(fileInput);
System.out.println(fileScanner.nextLine());
System.out.println("Commands: PRINT.FILE --> Prints all file COUNT.WORDS --> Counts all words ADD.TO.FILE --> add to selected file");
System.out.println("Type Command:");
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
String printFileCommand = scan.nextLine();
if (printFileCommand.contains("PRINT.FILE")) {
while (fileScanner.hasNextLine()) {
System.out.println(fileScanner.nextLine());
}
} else if (printFileCommand.contains("COUNT.WORDS")) {
int wordCount = 0;
while (fileScanner.hasNext()) {
String fileWords = fileScanner.next();
wordCount++;
}
System.out.println(wordCount);
