Hi ashwin kumar.
You want to read data for Console or GUI????

[ashwin kumar]

console firstly

[java_no1]

import java.io.*;


class ReadLine{
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
String CurLine = ""; // Line read from standard in

System.out.println("Enter a line of text (type 'quit' to exit): ");
InputStreamReader converter = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(converter);


while (!(CurLine.equals("quit"))){
CurLine = in.readLine();

if (!(CurLine.equals("quit"))){
System.out.println("You typed: " + CurLine);
}
}
}
}

Another way to read from the console is with the Scanner class. Search this forum for many examples.
