command line interface

[Artemis]

i'm pretty new at this java thing and i was wondering if someone would be
kind enough to help me out...my question is how do you get user input from
a command line interface? should i be using the console reader? it seems
that i'm having problems reading strings and i'm not sure what to do. any
suggestions? thanks!

Hi,
You can use BufferedReader screen = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in,
true));
Delcare the item as static and use it in your class(driver file, etc).
This is how we did it my Java classes.

Hope this helps.

One note, I can't remember if the second parameter for InputStreamReader is
necessary. If it gives you problems, try omitting it.

Hi

BufferedReader cin=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

String s=cin.readLine();

or

DataInputStream cin=new DataInputStream(System.in);

String s=cin.readLine();

but readLine method in DataInputStream is deprecated
