JAva and Project builder

[jsn]

hi

I wrote a java program with project builder and whenI run it this line does not work inChar = System.in.read();

It looks like I can write but i can not read why ?

here is the program :

//
// ReadHello.java
//

import java.io.*;

public class ReadHello {

public static void main(String args[]) {
int inChar;
System.out.println("Enter a character");


try {
inChar = System.in.read();
System.out.print("You entered:");
System.out.println(inChar);
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("error reading from user");
}
}

}

thanks
jsn

Try to run it from the command line and it will probably work fine.

After you enter the character, you have to hit return. System.in.whatever is buffered and waits for a line at a time.

BTW your code worked for me from the command line on Win NT.
