How to get input from Console

[karma]

I want to get input from console. Output is easy using System.out.print() but what about input?

[levent]

You can use a BufferedReader to read a line from the "standard" input stream as follows:

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(System.in);
String input = reader.readLine();

Alternatively, if you are using Java 6 or above, you can use Console class as follows:

Console console = System.console();
String username = console.readLine("User: ");

Hey guys i was trying to send file to a server from a client and the file will be sent but a serious of small rectangles which are equal to the array length i initialized are also displayed with the file i sent in the server side; what code should i use to avoid this, please can somebody help me out.
this are the code i used
Client side
public void sendFile(){
try{
bis = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(jFileChooser1.getSelectedFile()));
bos = new BufferedOutputStream(client.getOutputStream( ));
byteArray = new byte[(int)jFileChooser1.getSelectedFile().length()];
bis.read(byteArray,0, byteArray.length);
bos.write(byteArray,0, byteArray.length);
bis.close();
bos.close();
}

Server side

public void receiveFile(){

try{
byte receivedData[] = new byte[40];
bis = new BufferedInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
bis.read(receivedData);
String st=new String (receivedData,0,receivedData.length);
System.out.println(st);
bos = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("belete.txt"));
bos.write(receivedData);
bis.close();
bos.close();
}

And how does that relate to getting input from the console? Why do you hijack a dead thread?

Please don't hijack an unrelated thread; the title of the thread is misleading w.r.t. your subject; hijacking is considered rude, better start your own thread with an appropriate thread title.

kind regards,
