Is it possible to read a socket inputstream character by character? ObjectInputStream etc are based on a newline character. I would like to be able to read all the characters as they come in. Is this possible?
I have looked at the pipedInputStream/pipedoutputstream but I don't think that-that is quite what I am looking for (I can't figure out how to make pipedstream work)
Thanks,
John

Yes, assuming you mean byte by bye

No.

int b = socket.getInputStream.read();

This has nothing to do with TCP.
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
try {
ServerSocket s = new ServerSocket(1234);
Socket sock = s.accept();
while(true) {
int b = sock.getInputStream().read();
System.out.println(b);
}
} catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}
}
the above code still expects an enter to be pressed before b will be displayed. How can I read the stream byte by byte as they come in?
