Hi Ivan,

I was looking for the same info on command-line input and found this descriptive page with examples.

I think that u type the input from the keyboard....

u have a class called BufferedReader u use it like :

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

this makes an object named stdin...
the class BufferedReader has only one method that reads String only that method is readLine() so u use it like

String myVariable = stdin.readLine() ;

u can make use for it when intering numbers like ....

int i= Integer.parseInt(stdin.readLine());

But why would you use the console reading !!! u could have used JOptionPane that uses GUI to enter the value :

showInputDialog(Component parentComponent, Object message)

Example :

JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Enter a Value");

Making the parent component to be NULL will center the Dailog box into the screen


I hope this was helpful

Chances are that your applet will not have access to standard in. If you run the appletviewer from the command-line, then you can probably use the xterm (or cmd) window as your standard in.
