    Hi, all

    To add to the advice that jimmenees gave:

    It is possible to input text from the keyboard using another approach. The following code is for an application where the user has to guess a number between 1 and 10. The user has 3 guesses.

    The relevant parts are the BufferedReader method and the readLine(). The code is very basic and doesn't have any error-trapping, but it does show how to input from the keyboard.

    import java.io.*;
    class MyGuess
    {
    public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException
    {
    BufferedReader stdin=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    int guess, count, num;
    boolean correct=false;
    System.out.println("Guess the number I am thinking of...(1-10)");
    num=(int)(Math.random()*10+1);
    for (count=1; count<4; count++)
    {
    System.out.print("Guess # "+count+" is: ");
    System.out.flush();
    guess= Integer.parseInt(stdin.readLine());
    if (guess==num)
    {
    correct=true;
    break;
    }
    }

    if (correct)
    {
    System.out.println("Well done ! It was "+num);
    }

    else
    {
    System.out.println("You were wrong. It was "+num);
    }
    }
    }


    Hope it helps
    JoyousMonkey
