Java Input

[shaticus]

I am starting to learn java and could use some help. Could anyone tell me how to read input from the keyboard? I need to read a string in from the keyboard but cannot figure out how to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance

Firstly you will need to declare the input buffer, for example:

BufferedReader kbd = null;

You will then need to use a variable to read into, for example:

String request = kbd.readLine();

which will cause the program to wait for a string to be entered from the keyboard.

import java.util.Scanner;


//declare class

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter text here: ");
String a = input.nextLine();

Thank You! That will work perfectly.
