constructors and command lines

I would like to know how you allow command line input for a constructor created object.

For example, my patient class has a constructor that will create a patient with 5 parameters id, name, age, etc.....

public Patient(int d, String n, int a, int s, int x) {

id = d;

age = a;

tl = s;

name = n;

timearv = x;

In my Clinic class I would like to allow a user to be able to enter details on the command line to create a patient......DON'T KNOW HOW!!!

below is what i've come up with, but of course it doesnt work.....any help would be appreciated.....

Clinic c = new Clinic();

System.out.println("Add patient details");

Patient x = new Patient(id, name, age, tl,timearv);
