Two things:

a) Now I've made the code into a single method in a larger program, I don't know where to put the

Code:

java.lang.Exception

.

b) I can't work out exactly how to use .get() to make the value of a string (yes it must me a string, at least eventually) the value of a data item under a specific key. Basically, it won't compile when I use:

Code:

    public void formatFrequencies()
    {
        //Formats the data in the HashMap into a .csv file Excell can open.
        frequencyTable = frequencyTable+newLine;
        String currentFrequency = "0";
                for(char currentLetter : alphabet.toCharArray())
        {
            currentFrequency = frequencyMap.get(currentLetter);
            system.out.println(currentFrequency);
        }
    }

This code isn't quite complete yet, but I don't want to add more until I can get this bit working.
