Find and print out all the palindromes in a file Java Program

Find and print out all the palindromes in a file, ignoring any strings with numbers in them, and printing them out in alphabetical order. Your program should:
1. Open the file, dealing with possible exceptions
If there is no file name given, print “insufficient arguments given”
If there is no file, print “file not found”

2. Read the file word by word, where words are any strings of characters separated by whitespace. For example “ghoud3421” is a word, but as it contains digits you would not test to see if it is a palindrome.

3. For each word, use a separate method to see if it contains digits, and if it does not, check using another method whether it is a palindrome.

4. Collect all the palindromes, including duplicates.

5. Print out all the palindromes in alphabetical order.

A palindrome is a word whose meaning may be interpreted the same way in either forward or reverse direction. e.g. dad, tattarrattat, abccba, abbba, aba.
