title: Getting the first word from each line?
body: <p>Having a hard time getting the first word from each line. Any ideas why it's outputting blank files? </p>
  
  <p>The program takes the following text as input:</p>
  
  <pre><code>abecedism   word created from the initials of words in a phrase
  ablaut  variation in root vowel of words to change meaning
  acronym word formed from initial letters of another word
  acrophonic  using a symbol for the initial sound of a thing
  acroteleutic    phrase or words at the end of a psalm
  adversative word or phrase expressing opposition
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And the aim is to get the results to look like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>abecedism   
  ablaut  
  acronym 
  acrophonic  
  acroteleutic    
  adversative 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is the code so far: </p>
  
  <pre><code>public static void main(String args[]) {
      String fileNameOutput = "OutputFile.txt";
      String fileName = "InputWords.txt";
      Charset cs = Charset.defaultCharset();
      try (BufferedReader bReader = Files.newBufferedReader(Paths.get(fileName), cs)) {
          PrintWriter outputStream = new PrintWriter(fileNameOutput);
          int lineNum = 0;
          String line = null;
          while ((line = bReader.readLine()) != null) {
              lineNum++;
              if (line.split(" ").length &gt; 1) continue;
              outputStream.println(line);
          }
          outputStream.close();
      } catch (IOException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
