getting each character from keyboard

[Sreejesh25]

I want to read each character from the keyborad to do some action on each key.
But the System.in.read() was waiting for ENTER key to be pressed.
I want System.in.read() returning one character each time I'm pressing one character on the keyboard.
Please help...
The code is like this.

int ch;
while ('\n' != (ch = System.in.read())) {
System.out.println("You pressed " + ch
+ ".System waiting for next character.Press ENTER to exit");
}



System.in.read() should not wait for the user to press the ENTER key.

This is an interesting question.

I have searched for ages trying to find the answer but it appears that you can't get anything from System.in without the 'enter' key being pressed. Unfortunately it doesn't seem possible. :confused:

You could use Swing and listen for key events.

Indeed, and as the rabbit ages and matures they tend to hop around playfully in the sun.
