Text and ASCII Code I/O

[javaman1]

I am writing a program for a "Magic Eight Ball" that will read in the answers from a text file. I can get single digit numbers' ASCII code to read in, but how would I read in a "10" for example?

Thanks!

import java.io.*;

class MagicBall
{
	public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
	{
		FileReader inputStream = null;
		FileWriter outputStream = null;

		try
		{
			inputStream = new FileReader("answers.txt");
			outputStream = new FileWriter("done.txt");

			int c;
			boolean done = false;

			while(((c = inputStream.read()) != -1) && !done)
			{
				if(c == 55)
				{
					while((c = inputStream.read()) != -1)
					{
						outputStream.write(c);

						if(c == 46)
						{
							break;
						}
					}

					done = true;
				}
			}
		}

		finally
		{
			if (inputStream != null)
			{
				inputStream.close();
			}

			if (outputStream != null)
			{
				outputStream.close();
			}
		}
	}
}

Look up methods for something like nextline, you may also want to chain on a buffered stream, I am not great with io and others can probably give you better advice but that is my solution. When in doubt search the API for possible methods, use the sun tutorials or look up other tutorials on google.
