command line window on java game

[ki_ha1984]

hello .

I am new in java and i have many problems.
I have a AI game developed from someone else. The game is AI GAME COMPUTER VS COMPUTER.
Now i have to create a textbox where i can send commands to game . something like command line.
When i say commands, commands like to compare two old games logs to find differences.
The logs are text files.

Can i find any tutorial, or help for this???

thanks

If your brand new to java consider getting a refference book. I am currently using this one and its working great for me, it has working example and step by step explanations of everything:
Amazon.com: Java How to Program, 7th Edition (9780132222204): Harvey M. Deitel, Paul J. Deitel: Books

If you can spend the extra money I suggest you buy the latest and gratest edition:
Amazon.com: Java How to Program (early objects) (9th Edition) (Deitel) (9780132575669): Paul Deitel, Harvey Deitel: Books

Please know that what your asking is very broad, and you put in very few details as to what you want specifically so this reply is just a guess, I don't know if this is what you need.

Now to attempt to answer your question:
are the commands already written for you? You just need a text box to enter them?
if so then look into using the java.util Scanner to get input from you and then interface that input with the commands you want. If you are looking to do this with gui it gets a lot more complicated so try the scanner for now.

Or do you need to create command codes as well?
if so then you have a LOT of work ahead of you depending on how many commands you want. For the command about comparing files this tutorial can show you how to read files, which is a start. Go from there.
Java Read File Line By Line,How to Read File Line By Line in Java

again, these are guesses please provide more info!
