Simple input stream

I can't understand you. You said:

1. I just want a "simple" code where the input stream is used.

2. I have searched and found different solutions, but none of them work like they should.

So you not only want "code where the input stream is used", you have some requirements and existing code did not fit into.

Again - what do you want, what did you find, what was wrong?

No need to get hatefull, or?

The reason why I dint post the codes I've been using is because I dont understand anything of them.

Anyway, heres one of them that didnt work at all:

import java.io.*

byte [] b=new byte[255];

System.in.read(b);

And:

InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader( System.in );

BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader( isr );

System.out.print( "Test " );

String input = stdin.readLine();

System.out.println( "input = " + input );

I also had one that I deleted wich contained the keyword "try" which worked pretty good but the code was on a level that I didnt understand at all.

All of theese code examples are just found with google and tried with no positive results.

I will go with that one if I cant get this one to work:

public static void feedIn() {

byte [] b=new byte[255];

System.in.read(b);

}

And the error message returned from the compiler is:

Test.java:90: unreported exception java.io.IOException; must be caught or declared to be thrown

System.in.read(b);

^

1 error

Help!

it did the trick, thanks!

Just a quick question about randomizing: I want to generate 1 of 3 names (string) and then print it out. My current code looks something like this:

public static void randomizename() {

for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)

String[] mankind = {"Alien", "Green"}; //Here is the first problem, I cant print 'mankind' out with the correct and randomized name.

System.out.print("What kind are you?: ");

System.out.print ("So you really are a " + mankind); //Something like this for output.

}
